[Verse 1]
He came down from the desert, with a Bible in his hand
Preachin' murder like a sermon, drawing X’s in his hand
Said, “I’m the devil and the savior,” with a stare that burned like coal
Found some broken girls in LA… and swallowed up their souls
[Chorus]
In the eyes of the Family,
He was more than just a man
Screams in the canyon,
With blood upon their hands
“Rise for Helter Skelter,”
He said, “The war is comin’ soon”
While the stars bled over Cielo Drive
Beneath a ghostly moon
[Verse 2]
Piggies on the doorway, written in the night
Red drips like a warning — not a soul in sight
Tate was crying mercy, baby on the way
But mercy don’t come knockin’
When Charlie wants to play
[Bridge – whispered]
"Look at your game, girl..."
"Death is just a doorway..."
"Believe me, if i started murdering people, there'd be none of you left…"
[Chorus]
In the eyes of the Family,
The world was just a stage
They danced in devil’s silence, did Creepy crawling nights
And smiled inside a cage
Knives like gospel verses,
Lullabies of doom
As shadows crawled on Benedict
And flowers bloomed from tombs
[Outro]
He never struck the final blow,
But every note was his
With songs that cut like razors,
And love that tasted like a hiss
Now the echoes still are hummin’
Through the valley and the pine...
Charlie’s dream keeps breathin’
In the dark corners of time
