“Massacre” is the sixth track off of Kim Petras' second studio album “Turn off the Light”. Petras’ subverts and samples the christmas classic “Carol of the Bells” melody into something eerie, but dance floor ready.
[Intro]
Woo-ah-ee-ah
[Chorus]
It's gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
It's gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
[Verse 1]
Blood on the floor
Glamour and gauze
Stain on the glass
Make this the last
Night that you're here
Bites on your neck
Can't dodge a hex
Show me respect
I see the death
I smell the fear
Don't be afraid
Just take my hand
Come follow me
I promise that
I'll take you there
Just you and me
Can't even breathe
Can't hear you scream
(La, la-la-la, la, la-la-la)
[Chorus]
It's gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
It's gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
[Post-Chorus]
One taste of blood is not enough to satisfy
Take your last breath and get a rush
Gotta die to feel alive
Sweet evil, come deliver us the sacrifice
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Gotta die to feel alive
[Verse 2]
Dawn of the dead
Blood, ruby red
Don't lose your head
Love when you beg
Love when you cry
Queen of the Damned
That which I am
Reborn again
I never end
I never die (Never die)
Don't let me in
I see the sin
Under your skin
You can't escape
You can't deny
Seek and I find
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
(La, la-la-la, la, la-la-la)
[Chorus]
It's gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
It's gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
Gonna be a massacre
[Post-Chorus]
One taste of blood is not enough (Not enough) to satisfy
Take your last breath and get a rush (Get a rush)
Gotta die to feel alive
Sweet evil, come deliver us (Come deliver us) the sacrifice
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust (Dust to dust)
Gotta die to feel alive
Massacre was written by Theron Thomas & Aaron Joseph & jesse saint john & Kim Petras & Dr. Luke.
Massacre was produced by Aaron Joseph & Dr. Luke.
Kim Petras released Massacre on Tue Oct 01 2019.
Each verse of the song actually interpolates the exact melody from Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych’s 1914 composition “Shchedryk,” known and westernized as “Carol of the Bells.” The song is usually associated with Christmastime, but Petras adapted the melody for her Halloween-themed project.
