The Ballad of Spook & Mercy
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Here lies little Mercy
Asleep beneath the honeymoon
And at ten o'clock, the young girl will wake up
And she might come hunting for you
Sleep well, my darling, if you sleep at all
The dark days are coming for us all
But I'll hold your hand in hell
From the shadows she saw her first victim
A newlywed in a Corvette
Mercy slaughtered the bride and put a knife in her side
And sucked all the life from her neck
The groom came back from the truck stop
And saw his wife's blood on the seats
Like an envelope, she tore open his throat
And feasted on every heartbeat
(Ah) sleep well, my darling, if you sleep at all
(Ah) the dark days are coming for us all
(Ah) but I'll hold your hand in hell
So the next time you're out night-walking
Trust me, no word of a lie
Like the sins of men, she will strike again
Every man she sees has to die
Sleep well, my darling, if you sleep at all
The dark days are coming for us all
Sleep well, my darling, if you sleep at all
The dark days are coming for us all (for us all, for us all, for us all)
But I'll hold your hand in hell
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Here lies little Mercy
Asleep beneath the honeymoon
And at ten o'clock, the young girl will wake up
And she might come hunting for you
Sleep well, my darling, if you sleep at all
The dark days are coming for us all
But I'll hold your hand in hell
From the shadows she saw her first victim
A newlywed in a Corvette
Mercy slaughtered the bride and put a knife in her side
And sucked all the life from her neck
The groom came back from the truck stop
And saw his wife's blood on the seats
Like an envelope, she tore open his throat
And feasted on every heartbeat
(Ah) sleep well, my darling, if you sleep at all
(Ah) the dark days are coming for us all
(Ah) but I'll hold your hand in hell
So the next time you're out night-walking
Trust me, no word of a lie
Like the sins of men, she will strike again
Every man she sees has to die
Sleep well, my darling, if you sleep at all
The dark days are coming for us all
Sleep well, my darling, if you sleep at all
The dark days are coming for us all (for us all, for us all, for us all)
But I'll hold your hand in hell
