under the blade

a glint of steel

a flash of light

you know you're not going home tonight

be it jack or switch

doctor's or mind

nowhere to run

everywhere you'll find

you can't escape from the bed you've made

when your time has come

you'll accept the blade!

you're cornered in the alley way

you know you're all alone

you know it's gonna end this way

chill goes to the bone

now here it comes that glistening light

it goes into your side

the blackness comes

tonight's the night

the blade is gonna ride

'cause you're under the blade

oh

you're under the blade

it's not another party head

this time you cannot rise

your hands are tied

your legs are strapped

a light shines in your eyes

you faintly see a razor's edge

you open your mouth to cry

but you know you can't

it's over now

the blade is gonna ride

'cause you're under the blade

oh

you're under the blade

a glint of steel

a flash of light

you know you're not going home tonight

be it jack or switch

doctor's or mind

there's nowhere to run

everywhere you'll find

you can't escape from the bed you've made

when your time has come

you'll accept the blade!

you've tried to make it to the front

you're pinned against the side

a monster stands before you now

its mouth is open wide

the lights go on

the night explodes

it tears into your mind

when the night does end

you'll come again

the blade is gonna ride

'cause you're under the blade

oh

you're under the blade

now you're under it

you're going down

down

down.
