[Verse 1]

Manhunt, killing spree

Year of the demon

Darkness in the flesh

A perfect storm

Widespread state of shock

Nightscape deserted

A new kind of threat

Hell taking form

[Pre-Chorus]

Death and the Omega

Cause and effect

[Chorus]

Born of one fatal error

A series of events

Unfolding lost tomorrows

A future in past tense

Shadow, shadow

Shadow .44

Shadow, shadow, shadow

[Verse 2]

Beast-like moral sense

Cold-blooded harvest

On chance zeroed in

Unknowing prey

Blurred lines - focal point

Distorted mindset

Submit to the cult

And lead the way

[Chorus]

As dawn devours twilight

A spark turned into flames

Won hope from non-existence

And scarred rebirth in chains

Shadow, shadow

Shadow .44

Shadow, shadow, shadow

[Spoken Word]

" After more than 13 months and thousands of leads down endless blind alleys. The detectives at the Brooklyn Omega Squad, part of that 300-cop 44-killer manhunt, captured the man they say is 'Son of Sam'"

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Death and the Omega

Cause and effect

[Chorus]

Born of one fatal error

A series of events

Unfolding lost tomorrows

A future in past tense

As dawn devours twilight

A spark turned into flames

Won hope from non-existence

And scarred rebirth in chains

Shadow, shadow

Shadow .44

Shadow, shadow
