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]
