Chorus - Coda A, Coda B
Verse 1
He said get out of here nobody wants you here
You smashed his head and the man died.
And there's a murmur from the appearing crowd
Searching for motives and reasons why.
Bridge 1
Now take a look at yourself and you'll see
what you are in the eyes of the world.
You didn't want it but now he is dead
and you're on the run from the law.
Chorus
You're a murderer..... in every town
murderer..... to the whole world
murderer..... you're on the run
murderer..... but you have to kill...again.
Verse 2
And like an animal which escaped from the cage
They're hunting you over their holy land.
Traps waiting everywhere, you fall in deep despair
Darkness and night your only friends.
Bridge 2
One day the chase will be over for you
and you'll find your own peace in the end.
Some day you will find sanctuary
Death!...but so long my friend.
Bridge 3
Look for a safe place where no one will find you
and try to escape from the law.
Wherever you are there's a killer behind you
wanting to get you for sure.
To lose the fear that some day he will get you
be faster and kill him and run.
Now you don't have to fear him no more
but in his place another headhunter will come.......
Run away.........
Finally, The End.
