You thought he was dead
It was just in your head
You better get ready for Freddy

You thought you saw him die
But it's you who's crucified
So now you'll pay for his sins

He'll come while you sleep
You're gonna rest in peace
He's in the mirror hanging on the wall
He'll rip out your chest
Your body he'll molest
Then laugh and use your blood
To paint the walls

First he kils one

Lyrics:

His hand spells death
He breathes his vile breath
No way you can stop him once he's out
He hauts you sleep
In the tub he hides down deep
He rips your face and no one hears you shout

[CHORUS]
He's come for you, what will you do
He'll slash you and rip you and cut you in two

His teeth are black
Flex metal knuckles with a crack
Maggots crawling all throughout his skin
He'll get them all
