Lyrics
Bye-Bye
Lyrics by Antti Heikkinen
In the silence you will come soon
There will be no rescue
In the bayou night I await you
Await you to release the hounds
Did you ever think that maybe I didn't do it
Did you ever think that maybe I don't deserve it
But you wouldn't care you all just do your duties
Well you know I'm done I'm thru playing games
[Chorus]
So bye-bye baby, bye-bye girl
You know I ain't coming back to haunt you
Yeah bye-bye baby, bye-bye girl
But you know I will always watch you
Bye-bye world and bye-bye pain
But I ain't going back to rot there
They?ve given me hell I'll give 'em more
And they ain't gonna catch me if I breathe
Rustle of the leaves and canine breath
Oh I don't wish to break your necks
Come on down, you'll see I'm ready
And my duty is to survive - even if you die
Did you ever think that maybe I didn't do it
Did you ever think that maybe I don't deserve it
But you wouldn't care you all just do your duties
Well you know I'm done I'm thru playing games
[Chorus]
So bye-bye baby, bye-bye girl
You know I ain't coming back to haunt you
Yeah bye-bye baby, bye-bye girl
But you know I will always watch you
Bye-bye world and bye-bye pain
But I ain't going back to rot there
They?ve given me hell I'll give 'em more
And they ain't gonna catch me if I breathe
[Bridge]
It's so beautiful here
Leaves so green now sprinkled with blood
As I give up the ghost please tell my girl how sorry I was
[News clip]
Late last night, the city?s exhaustive manhunt for the suspected the serial killer known only as ?the bayou butcher?, came to an end. Police say they found the suspect?s body in Old Church Park, in what investigators called an apparent suicide. In an interesting twist, his body was found covered in blood and staged the in same manner as all of the victims. The Police said they are hopeful that they have just witnessed the end of a gruesome part of the city?s history.

[Chorus]
So bye-bye baby, bye-bye girl
You know I ain't coming back to haunt you
Yeah bye-bye baby, bye-bye girl
But you know I will always watch you
Bye-bye world and bye-bye pain
But I ain't going back to rot there
They?ve given me hell I'll give 'em more
And they ain't gonna catch me if I breathe
