Deputies report that in some instances only parts of a corpse have been removed
The head or in some cases the extremities removed
The remainder of the corpse left intact
In the heart of Texas, under blazing sun
A family of madness' dark work has begun
Through the fields of horror, five friends lose their way
Into the jaws of terror, they become the prey
Echoes of the slaughterhouse, bloodlines soaked in red
A legacy of torment, where angels fear to tread
Echoes of the slaughterhouse, bloodlines soaked in red
Run, run, run from Leatherface, or join the ranks of dead
Bones adorn the chambers, a macab display
The hitch hiker's laughter, sanity's decay
Sally screams in terror, Franklin's final breath
A symphony of chaos, a dance of grisly death
Echoes of the slaughterhouse, bloodlines soaked in red
A legacy of torment, where angels fear to tread
Echoes of the slaughterhouse, bloodlines soaked in red
Run, run, run from Leatherface, or join the ranks of dead
In the darkness, Grandpa's thirsting for blood of the alive
Hammer falls, but fate's uncertain, Sally must survive
With each strike, hope grows dimmer, terror ever near
But through the night, the dawn approaches, in blood and sweat and fear
Echoes of the slaughterhouse, bloodlines soaked in red
A legacy of torment, where angels fear to tread
Echoes of the slaughterhouse, bloodlines soaked in red
Run, run, run from Leatherface, or join the ranks of dead
Dawn breaks over Texas, nightmares fade to black
But in the mind of Sally, they always circle back
Leatherface yet hungers, the chainsaw still will hum
A requiem of terror, for horrors yet to come
