When the sky is gray
And the moon is hate,
I'll be down to get you.
Roots of earth will shake.
CHORUS:
Sinister purpose
Knockin' at your door;
Come and take my hand.
Burn away the goodness,
You and I remain.
Did you see the last war?
Well, here I am again.
CHORUS
I can set you free,
Make you rich and wise.
We can live forever;
Look into my eyes.
CHORUS
Mm-mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm-mm...
And the moon is hate,
I'll be down to get you.
Roots of earth will shake.
CHORUS:
Sinister purpose
Knockin' at your door;
Come and take my hand.
Burn away the goodness,
You and I remain.
Did you see the last war?
Well, here I am again.
CHORUS
I can set you free,
Make you rich and wise.
We can live forever;
Look into my eyes.
CHORUS
Mm-mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm-mm...
