I´ve been known to lie, to steal
I´ve ignored the pain that you feel
I´ve been known to laugh when you cry
And I´ve been known to pass on the other side
(When you´re bleeding)

Chorus:
There´s a spirit of murder
Among us here today
There´s a spirit of murder
Among us here today

I´ve a young friend who has a wife
He dreams of the day she´ll lose
In hopes that he´ll have a second chance
A second chance to find a new romance
(Now she´s bleeding)

There´s a spirit of murder
Among us here today
There´s a spirit of murder
Among us here today

He shed His blood
He shed His blood

There´s a spirit of murder
Among us here today
There´s a spirit of murder
Among us here today
