he place was Atlanta, 1979
Children vanish, without a sign
They are abducted in plain sight
"Do you know where your children are tonight?"
VIctims aged 9 to 28
Disappear at an alarming rate
The community's gripped in fear
Can't protect what they hold most dear
I'm the Atlanta Monster
Keep your children inside
For when I'm on the hunt
There's nowhere to hide
Bodies found in the Chattahoochee river.
Crimes that would make anyone shiver
Roads and bridge, the police watch
Hoping the killer would finally be caught
Stakeout, May1981
They think they've caught the one
Wayne Williams, stopped by the police
He was questioned and later released
Chorus
An arrest was finally made
Williams said that he was framed
He was only convicted of 2
After that, suspicions grew
Many say he's innocent
The police, imcompetent
Some wonder to this day
Was it Wayne Williams or the KKK?
Chorus

Iceman

I have a talent for torture and a trigger itch
Cuz I'm an ice cold murdering son of a bitch
I'd do it for fun if it wasn't a hit
Their pain's my pleasure I fully admit
I'm the Iceman
Don't fuck with me
I'm the Iceman
I take no pity
I'll beat'em to death or I'll shoot them down
Poison their drink when they're not around
Cut up their bodies, put them in drums
Laugh as their body slowly succumbs
Chorus

Monster

They beat me
They raped me
Tried to kill me
Sodomized me
I fought back
Against their vicious attacks
They got what they deserved
A life unpreserved
My time I will serve
I'm not sorry
These men were not victims, took advantage of me
I had to defend myself, it was fight or flee
I didn't ask for this life, victim of society
Why can't see you see
Why can't see you see
Why can't see you see
I'm not a monster

Zodiac
02:32
|
|||
|
From 1968 to 1969
San Francisco was on the decline
I hunted teenagers and taunted the police
Who wondered if the horrors would ever cease
You can't catch me I'm the Zodiac
You can't prevent my next attack
You can't catch me I'm the Zodiac
Sent letters with ciphers to newspapers
With clues to my identity and tales of my capers
Only one was decrypted, the rest unsolved
Much to the anguish of all those involved

John Wayne Gacy

|
I dress up like a clown
Guaranteed to make you frown
I kill kids for fun
So you better hide your son
I'm John Wayne Gacy
Bodies in the basement
Buried side by side
The stench is overwhelming
I'm glad they died
Chorus
