Bury the Hatchet Lyrics

It was the town of Staunton
Where the murder did occur
On demon's night in '83
He escaped into the world

For in her chair dead as stone
Lady Higgin's life did end
The old bitch gave him candy
But the devil gave him sin

A hatchet buried through her chest
Had split her everywhere
And through the window
Sat her corpse as sirens filled the air

On foot the madam wandered
Deep into the night
As costumes children stood and stared at this
Butchered, twisted fright

Demon's night, on demons night
The devil comes alive
Demons night, it's demons night
See the evil in his eyes

Tonight is the night when dead leaves fly like
Witches across the sky
The legend lurks from asylum black and
Kills into the night

Bury the hatchet!!!
Evil comes from within
Bury the hatchet!!!
While evil commits the sin

Demon's night, on demons night
The devil comes alive
Demons night, it's demons night
See the evil in his eyes

The western state asylum was
Soon closed forever more
The unsolved crime got locked away
But the nightmare had been born and

Every year on Halloween
There's a gleam that fills his eyes
And rest assured by November first
That someone else has died

Demon's night, on demons night
The devil comes alive
Demons night, it's demons night
See the evil in his eyes
