[Intro]
Bm                Bm
   In calculated silence

                  Em
Captivated by the violence I replay

        G          F#
Fifteen years ago today

G      F#      Bm
Oh, an evil evolution

             A           Em
Will bring a feeble institution to its knees

   G                 F#
Oh doctor, can't you see?
[Chorus]
              Bm       Em
That when the hands of fate

            G        F#
Fall on the midnight hour

            Bm      Em
Behind this mask of hate

          G       F#
I don the devil's power
[Post-Chorus]
"These are the devil's eyes"
                        Bm              F#              Bm              F#

[Verse 1]
         Bm
A former portrait of perfection

F#
Painted without plight

    Em
Now Haddonfield's my battlefield

     G                  F#
Your kids won't make it home tonight

       Bm
With a madness void of reason

  F#
I kill with every strike

               Em
I'll haunt you day after day

G      F#      G
Knife after knife

Taking life after li-ife
[Chorus]

When the hands of fate

            G        F#
Fall on the midnight hour

            Bm      Em
Behind this mask of hate

          G       F#
I don the devil's power

           Bm          Em
If there's life in the shadows

        G               F#
Let the knife leave its mark

         G                              F#
When the certainty of safety feels like stabbing

F#
Stabbing in the dark

[Verse 2]
G              Bm
You'll learn a heartless human harvest

           F#
Feeds this festival of flesh

         Em
Stalking at the top
Scream of the crop
  G           F#
A silent cut above the rest

      Bm
Where blood's thicker than water

     F#
I've carved up quite a scene

                Em
With your worst fears carved on this white veneer

     G                  F#
I'll change the face of Halloween

G                  F#
You can't kill the boogeyman
[Chorus]
         Bm       Em
When the hands of fate

            G        F#
Fall on the midnight hour

            Bm      Em
Behind this mask of hate

          G       F#
I don the devil's power

           Bm          Em
If there's life in the shadows

The choice is yours
