Jack (3:55)
Music / Lyrics : Jon Schaffer

Out in the streets 
Out in the night 
Slime oozes from her gutter 
Street walkin' bitch 
Makin' it rich 
Desperate man involved 
Take a knife 
Take her life 
Worthless debutante 

Jack is out there 
Jack is near 
Jack be nimble 
Jack brings fear 
Jack has blades and axes, too 
Jack had blades, I warned you 

One more block 
And you'll be safe 
If you get that lucky 
But you don't 
You poor thing 
His axe is swinging proudly 

Jack is out there 
Jack is near 
Jack be nimble 
Jack brings fear 
Jack has blades and axes, too 
Jack had blades, I warned you 

Swing his axe 
Twenty whacks 
And you're into bite-sized peices 

Take his knife 
Slice your life 
Shreaded prostitution 
Jack has won 
In Jacks mind 
Jack has the resolution



In Jason's Mind (5:11)
Music : Jon Schaffer, Bill Owen / Lyrics : Gene Adams

He's the creeper in the night 
He's the reaper with a knife 
He wears a mask to hide his face 
He's always ready for the chase 
Killing for the vengeance 
Of his mothers death 
He's got murder on his breath 
Run from the creeper 
Hide in the night 
His knife is plunging deeper 
He's got you wrapped up tight 

Creeper in the night 
Reaper with a knife 
Creeper take your life 
Reaper with a killing bite 

Down in the lake 
He's gaining his strength 
His vision is blurred 
His mind is obscured 
From behind a tree 
Or underneath your bed 
He's looking for you 
He'll cut off your head 
Behind his mask 
He lies in wait 
His mind is obsessed 
He's gone insane 
only to know the look in his eyes 
The pain and the fear 
And the tast of spite 

Creeper in the night 
Reaper with a knife 
Creeper take your life 
Reaper with a killing bite 



Dracula (7:20)
Music : Jon Schaffer, Bill Owen / Lyrics : Gene Adams

The sun is gleaming in 
A shadow is cast 
A soul lies waiting 
Waiting to rise 

The father of darkness 
is how he is known 
In the tomb he lies dormant 
Awaiting the night 

He lives for the taste of the night 
He lives for the final bite 
And when he comes calling 
It's death at your door 

The father of darkness 
His soul never rests 
He'll make you the undead 
Forever his slave 

The sun is rising up 
He returns to rest 
Awaiting his calling 
He's calling for you 

Flying through windows 
He's got you entranced 
You won't wake tomorrow 
You've taken his mark 

He wants to possess you 
Your blood is his life 
His eyes are gleaming 
His teeth like a knife 

His princess of darkness 
You'll die for his bite 
And when he comes calling 
It's death at your door 

An unliving horror 
He sleeps by day 
The blood of you fills him 
It's what gives him life 

A prisoner of the night 
He awaits his next bite 
On the wings of the darkness 
He's flying to you
