Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the sky is gray and the moon is hate
I'll be down to get you, roots of Earth will shake
[Chorus]
Sinister purpose
Knocking at your door
Come and take my hand
[Instrumental]
Burn away the goodness, you and I remain
Did you see the last war? Well, here I am again
[Chorus]
Sinister purpose
Knocking at your door
Come and take my hand
[Instrumental]
I can set you free, make you rich and wise
We can live forever, look into my eyes
[Chorus]
Sinister purpose
Knocking at your door
Come and take my hand
[Outro]
