scissorman

when mama left, she always said:
“there will be nothing to regret,
if you will mind now what i say,
be a good boy while i’m away!”

“but if you’re bad and naughty too,
the great tall tailor comes to you!”
now worried mama’s shouting loud:
“you’ve got no clue what he’s about!”

treating hearts and souls like toys
is my morbid drug of choice
i’m the frightening scissorman
hoping you’ll respect my plan

despite her warning was enforced
at last my patience he exhaust
mama had scarcely turned her back
a rule was broken by little jack

so i burst doors and in i run
keeping order is so much fun
now children, watch out! here i come!
to catch and punish all you scum

treating hearts and souls like toys
is my morbid drug of choice
i’m the frightening scissorman
that’s what i’m for, that’s what i can

snip! snap! snip! my scissors go
now here i am, enjoy my show!
snip! snap! snip! they go so fast
that all of malice is off at last

there are thousand hurting voices in my head
like a stroboscope that makes me mad
it feels like a chime, some kind of stabbing chant
mercenaries at their own command

every time I get up it all starts to shake
like an air hammer kissing me awake
it feels like a roar, some kind of nagging pain
troublemakers that can not restrain

don’t disturb me! don’t you dare!
why sowed the seeds of terror?
you will regret it! be aware!
don’t start a fight with me!

don’t torment me! don’t you dare!
why sowed the seeds of terror?
you will regret it! be aware!
you should know better!

you may heard about that tale
where a man pied like a clown
pruned the place of all the rats
then caught all kids in town

but this time it’s different
i’m just black, no patch nor stripe
armed with my beloved drum
no need for any pipe

what you hear is my drum roll
your obedience - my goal
all what’s left is my drum roll
till you’re under my control
tamm-tamm! ramm-tamm-tamm!

see! my drumhead is well streched
and the sticks have proved itself
we have been through thick and thin
into your mind i delve

my beat‘s gonna kick your ass
and this torture will take long
listen! i’m coming for you
to teach you right from wrong

in the penthouse where I dwell,
above the city's ceaseless swell,
you might hear cries, perhaps a scream,
echoing through the midnight dream.
it's just the wind, or so they say,
whistling tunes to keep the dark at bay.
but if you listen close, you'll find,
my secrets hidden in the night's design.

“hello, I'm the new face on this floor,
behind my smile, horrors simmer and roar.
darknes pulses where my heart should be,
for I’m the perfect neighbor, can't you see?”

late nights, I often toil away,
tools clink and saws hum without delay.
a craftsman's touch, precision keen,
in the quiet hours, a routine unseen.
they think I'm building, creating art,
little do they know, it's a different part.
of a life crafted with a different creed,
in the shadows where my demons feed.

“hello, I'm the new face on this floor,
beneath my grin, darkness yearns for more.
fear lingers where my soul should be,
for I’m the perfect neighbor, can't you see?”

i'm an artist, you see, with paints of red,
brush strokes vivid, where others dread.
splatters of crimson, a palette unique,
on canvases unseen, stories oblique.
they admire my passion, my artful grace,
unaware of the darker canvas I embrace.
a masterpiece hidden in plain sight,
in the gallery of the eternal night.

“hello, I'm the new face on this floor,
behind my facade, chaos waits to pour.
silent screams where my mind should be,
for I’m the perfect neighbor, can't you see?”

bags rustle softly in the dead of night,
waste of work, concealed from sight.
disposal duty, a necessary chore,
to keep the secrets behind my door.
they might question the late-hour flight,
the mundane excuses, an ordinary rite.
but beneath it all, the truth remains,
a hunter's instinct, forever unchained.

like blind bats in the sun
i’m running amok with my gun
until everything is done
i just try to have some fun

there’ll be no difference between foe or friend
in rage i’ve to show you the meaning of hate
it’s about punishment , so tortures will depend
only on the manner of my pure mental state

like blind bats in the sun
i’m running amok fully stunned
don’t know how this begun
now all you can do is run

ich verfolg deine spur, kann dich schon riechen
ich weiß du liebst mich und wirst vor mir kriechen
ich kann’s nicht leugnen, ich vermisse dich
doch du weinst und sagst du kennst mich nicht

ich hoer schon das wimmern, schluchzen und schrein
erfuellt wird mein haus sein von deiner pein
du zitterst vor scham wenn ich dich beruehr
und mein verlangen waechst wie ein geschwuer

tief im keller ist es schwarz und kalt
ein roter teppich auf dem asphalt
gefuellt von angst und suesser gewalt
er ist meine kleine strafanstalt

meine zunge erkundet dein gesicht
doch deine augen schreien: ‘ich will das nicht’
ich kuesse dich und du schmeckst nach salz
dein herz es rast, es schlaegt bis zum hals

tief im keller ist es schwarz und kalt
ein roter teppich auf dem asphalt
ich fuehl mich wie eine gottgestalt
hier in meiner kleinen strafanstalt

nun schau was ich hab, hier in meiner hand
es ist das spielzeug, das den schmerz erfand
mit haut und haar will ich dich schmecken
und werd mir danach noch die finger lecken

dein zartes fleisch noch jung an jahren
mit gold‘em haar und weisser haut
noch voellig rein so unerfahren
lag unverhuellt vor mir

vergessen sind schuld und moral
nun bist du mein! …mein letztes abendmahl!

dein feuchter blick ist von furcht erfuellt
doch wirst den kleinsten schnitt nicht spuer‘n
narkotikum aus der vene quillt
bringt dich sogleich zur ruh‘

du wehrst dich noch ein letztes mal
nun bist du mein! …mein letztes abendmahl!

dein roter mund will etwas schrei‘n
als du die scharfe klinge siehst
ueber den tisch vergiess’ ich den wein
und schneid’ vom brot mir ab

ich richt’ dich an auf edelstahl
nun bist du mein! …mein letztes abendmahl!

in shadows deep, where dreams unwind
a sterile mind, so unaligned
obsessed with purity, I'm entwined
in a world where darkness thrives

i scrub my soul, with acid tears
burn away my darkest fears
a manic quest through countless years
to cleanse the world, erase the smears

i'm the steriliser, the fevered believer
burning bridges, a relentless achiever
in my delusion, I'm a fierce deceiver
a manic architect, a world retriever

a surgeon's knife, my weapon of choice
i'll cut through life, with a steely voice
no morality, just a relentless poise
to cleanse this world, and silence the noise

in sterile rooms, where I take my stand
i'll bleach the earth, with a ruthless hand
no repugnance, no moral demand
as long as my vision, my goal is grand

i'm the steriliser, the fevered believer
burning bridges, a relentless achiever
in my delusion, I'm a fierce deceiver
a manic architect, a world retriever

i'll bleach the sky, and purify the sea
strip away all impurity
in my madness, I am finally free
to create a world, as it should be

no empathy left, in this vacant heart
i'll tear the world's soul apart
with ruthless zeal, I'll play my part
as the steriliser, I'll make my mark

i'm the steriliser, the fevered believer
burning bridges, a relentless achiever
in my delusion, I'm a fierce deceiver
a manic architect, a world retriever

in this sterile world, I'm the puppeteer
a delusional mind, crystal clear
i'll cleanse the world, without a tear
the steriliser, forever here

principles and discipline
to me just foreign words
that‘s the taste of what is to come
i’m the stain that hurts

i give a shit on orders
i don‘t care about rules
i‘m a real demotivator
make you look like fools

i‘m your inner harlequin
tease you like a nasty pin
this battle, you will never win
i‘m your inner harlequin
with the evil grin, relentless sin

you are weighing pros and cons
while praying to your lord:
„is it worth this sacrificing?
what is the reward?“

make no mistake about that
cause there will be no choice
i am your legal guardian
silence your small voice

i‘m your inner harlequin
tease you like a nasty pin
this battle, you will never win
i‘m your inner harlequin
with the evil grin, relentless sin

you‘ll give in to my pressure
i put the screws on you
and get you into hot water
make my dreams come true
