lyrics

He will come like a thief in the night
Come and steal your soul away
He will come like a thief in the night and steal your soul away

He’ll come all dressed in black
He’ll come all dressed in black
He will come all dressed in black and steal your soul away

He’ll spit venom and hellfire
He will spit venom and hellfire
He’ll spit venom and hellfire in your face

You must say NO, NO I won’t let you
You must say NO, NO I won’t let you
No I won’t let you steal my soul away

He’ll come like a thief in the night
Come like a thief in the night
He’ll come like a thief in the night and steal your soul away

He’ll spit venom and hellfire
He will spit venom and hellfire
He’ll spit venom and hellfire in your face

You must say NO, NO I won’t let you
You must say NO, NO I won’t let you
No I won’t let you steal my soul away

He’ll come dressed in black
He will come all dressed in black
He’ll come all dressed in black and steal your soul away

He’ll spit venom and hellfire
He will spit venom and hellfire
He’ll spit venom and hellfire in your face

You must say NO, NO I won’t let you
You must say NO, NO I won’t let you
No I won’t let you steal my soul away
My soul, oh no no, oh no no
You must say NO, NO I won’t let you
You must say NO, NO I won’t let you
No I won’t let you steal my soul away
