Lyrics
"They called me the Leather Apron They called me the smiling Jack They prayed to the heavens above That I would never ever come back"
Can you hear how the children weep? Chills of fear like a sawblade cutting deep
Once again there is pain I bring flames - I bring cold I'm the Blood Red Sandman coming home On this unholy night I will make you my own Blood Red Sandman Coming home again
Red drops stain satin so white -"The way I sign my name" The neighborhood's pretty dead at night -"And I'm the one to blame"
Scream all you want you won't wake up when you scream "No-one leaves... ..The Monsterican Dream"
Music Video
A trio of people sort through old belongings in a hut, presumably in Finland, at night. The door swings open, and they find a box containing the 'Would You Love a Monsterman?' doll and a tape, which starts to play when they plug it in. The male is throttled by an invisible force, (which is actually a band member when seen through the video recorder he drops), and one of the females is dragged out to her death. The band (and her friends as zombies) then appear, and, pinning her to a rocking chair, continue to sing the song until the cassette player is unplugged by her struggling foot. The band and friends disappear, and as she looks around, relieved, Mr Lordi attacks her from behind (seen through the lens of the camera).
