Bang, bang, bang, feel the killer lead
Whiz, on pass, miss my head
Left turn, watch the crimson flow
Brotherman on the floor

Ching, ching, ching, let the dollars go
'Cause life ain't messing 'round no more
Stone-cold, when they knock me out
In the black of night, I heard 'em shoutin'

Murder
In the black of night
Murder
In the black of night

Bright white bright up ahead
Screaming sirens that I dread
No one but me to be
A witness to this tragedy
Brotherman with open eyes
A single tear that he cries
Smiles at me and stands up tall
In the black of night, I heard 'em shoutin'

Murder
Black of night
I heard 'em shoutin'
Murder
Murder
In the black of night
Murder
I heard 'em shoutin'
Murder
In the black of night

Run, run, run" , brother said to me
Before the son of samedi
Finds you here, in this place
A pale look now on his face

But, before I could go
The villains, they returned for more
The clock did stop dead on four
In the black of night, heard 'em shoutin'

Murder
In the black of night
Murder
I heard 'em shoutin'
Murder
Well, in the black of night
Murder
Someone shoutin'
Murder

Tik, tik, tok, that was it
A lone hand rose from the pit
A gentle face with saddened eyes
Took the villains by surprise
A soul for a soul, samedi, he said
In the black of night, who that shoutin'

Murder
In the black of night
Murder
Well, in the black of night
Murder
Well in the black of night
Murder
Well, in the black of night
Murder
Well, in the black of night
Murder
The black of night
Murder
In the black of night
Murder
