Abraxas (UK) - Pieces of Eight lyrics

Alone in this place at night With no one there she's lonely He stalks his prey with insanity Plaguing his eyes Creeping through the door Those that sleep will be no more As he watches his victims Under the cover of the night Shaken we hear How he butchers, why he's feared Awake in their minds Scared to the bone It's the thought of being the next victim Save me As he gets to work on his prey Take me away As he cuts them into pieces of eight Wont let that happen to me Consumed by fear at the stories that they teach But cant get away from its grip Hearing how he butchers them Into pieces of eight Fear is in the air He draws his blade, the end is near The thought of retribution Doesn't trouble this twisted mind As he chops through flesh and bone Reality is gone in a world of his own As madness takes control He slays them in their home Shaken we hear How he butchers, why he's feared Invading their minds Scared to the bone It's the thought of being the next victim Save me As he gets to work on his prey Take me away As he cuts them into pieces of eight Wont let that happen to me Consumed by fear at the stories that they teach But cant get away from its grip Hearing how he butchers them Into pieces of eight Strange how we can never seem to erase the thoughts from our minds Victims Too young to understand Blessed With the innocence of youth Time will tell But the stories they will dwell All I know is I know that I've done my time These thoughts have consumed my whole mind These things that were pa**ed on to me I know I can't believe But as time goes by I know that nothing will escape Like the pieces of eight Like the pieces of eight Wont let that happen to me Consumed by fear at the stories that they teach But cant get away from its grip Hearing how he butchers them Into pieces of eight Pieces of eight
