[Verse1]
Riff1
As he came into the win_dow_  was a sound_ of_  a crescendo_
Riff1
He came into her apartment_   He left the blood_stains_ on the carpet_
Riff1
She was sitting at the table_  He could see_ she_  was unable_
Riff1
So she ran into the bedroom_  She was struck_ down_   It was her_ doom_
