10. Reign Of Terror

There’s a rumor going round
About a house up on the hill
Where the two of them been living
All those years
How a fight broke out
And all the lights were on
And fear replaced the love
They held so dear

Reign of Terror
All fire and smoke
And the tears come tearing down
Could of killed each other
If they had enough rope
But they say it was true love
That brought ‘em back around

They say that he began it
He was seeing a local girl
She overheard his phone call
From upstairs
She lit the bed on fire
She used a cigarette
She said she’d rather die
He said a prayer

Reign of Terror
All fire and smoke
And the tears come tearing down
Could of killed each other
If they had enough rope
But they say it was true love
That brought ‘em back around

Reign of Terror
All fire and smoke
And the tears come tearing down
Could of killed each other
If they had enough rope
But they say it was true love
That brought ‘em back around
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Ah ah ah
