edgar allen poe'nun en gerilimli ve bilindik eserlerinden biridir. türkçe'ye morgue sokağı cinayetleri diye geçmekle birlikte; bir çok korku yazarı için pusula görevi görmüştür.
remember it as plain as day
although it happened in the dark of the night.
i was strolling through the streets of paris
and it was cold it was starting to rain.
and then i heard a piercing scream
and i rushed to the scene of the crime
but all i found was the butchered remains
of two girls lay side by side.
murders in the rue morgue
someone call the gendarmes
murders in the rue morgue
run before the killers go free
there's some people coming down the street
at last there's someone heard my call
i can't understand why they're pointing at me
i never done nothing at all.
but i must have got some blood on my hands
because everyone's shouting at me
i can't speak french so i couldn't explain
and like a fool i started running away.
murders in the rue morgue
someone call the gendarmes
murders in the rue morgue
am i ever gonna be free.
and now i've gotta get away from the arms of the law.
all france is looking for me.
i've gotta find my way across the border for sure
down the south to italy.
murders in the rue morgue
someone call the gendarmes
murders in the rue morgue
i'm never going home.
well i made it to the border at last
but i can't erase the scene from my mind
anytime somebody stares at me, well
i just start running blind
well i'm moving through the shadows at night
away from the staring eyes
any day they'll be looking for me
'cause i know i show the signs of...
murders in the rue morgue
running from the gendarmes
murders in the rue morgue
running from the arms of the law
murders in the rue morgue
running from the gendarmes
murders in the rue morgue
am i ever gonna be free
it took so long and i'm getting so tired
i'm running out of places to hide
should i return to the scene of the crime
where the two young victims died
if i could go to somebody for help
it'd get me out of trouble for sure
but i know that it's on my mind
that my doctor said i've done it before.
murders in the rue morgue
they're never gonna find me
murders in the rue morgue
i'm never going home
bir cinayetin aydınlatılması üzerine kurulmuş edgar allen poe hikayesi.poe, tanık ifadeleri, merhum tasvirleri ve cinayetin işlendiği mekanı ince ince anlatarak okuyucuyu içine çeker ve katilin kim olduğunu bulmak için çabalamasını sağlar. lakin katil fazla bilinmediğinden olsa gerek pek bir acayiptir zira okuyucuda bir "hadi ordan", "bu muydu", "daha neler" vs... etkisi yaratır finali ile.
hiç bir grubun iron maiden kadar iyi yorumlayamayacağı enfes iron maiden şarkısı. bir çok kez şarkı bitince doyamadığımı farketmiş ve baştan dinlemişimdir.
Bak yine burda da şarkının sahibini övmek yerine cover yapanı övmüşler. Size çok pis sövesim var da sövmüyorum. Killers albümünün en dikkat çekici, en güzel şarkısı, Paul Di'Anno'ya bir kez daha hasta oldurtmuştur.
