When The Lights Went Off
When the lights go off the fun begins,
So which one of them did the sin........
Black out, black out
All the lights just went out
Screams here
Screams there
All we hear is screams everywhere
The lights come on and there she lay
Her helpless body
On display
There on the floor
Drenched in blood
Who did it?
No one knew
Not yet that is
It could be anyone in this room
But who is the girl
No one knew............
