When I was just a kid
My heart danced to your song
Entrancing melody
The whole world crooned along
Then came the thriller years
That filled my preteen doom
Black and white merged as one
From ballroom to bedroom
Kid, befallen Angel
Of Fear, reads in your eyes
Man, eternal Seeker
Torture shows in your smiles
Kid, befallen Angel
A Genius of a kind
Man, eternal Seeker
A poison of the mind
As I reached puberty
Your music drove me wild
From underneath the drapes
Authority, defiled
A voice that pierced my soul
Lyrics, entranced my mind
And moves that grooved my hips
Songs of a gifted kind
Kid, befallen Angel
Of Fear, reads in your eyes
Man, eternal Seeker
Torture shows in your smiles
Kid, befallen Angel
A Genius of a kind
Man, eternal Seeker
A poison of the mind
In my room, all darkness
Your tears lifted my gloom
To tune out all the noise
I turned up the volume
In my life, but sadness
Your sun was my rainbow
A heart for me to share
Of King and Pharaoh
Kid, befallen Angel
Of Fear, reads in your eyes
Man, eternal Seeker
Torture shows in your smiles
Kid, befallen Angel
A Genius of a kind
Man, eternal Seeker
A poison of the mind
The father who raped you
Of innocence and highs
Sowing the seeds of doubt
To grow his empty lies
The Devil in disguise
Who lived through your virtues
Holding down with the boot
The innocent, subdues
Kid, befallen Angel
Of Fear, reads in your eyes
Man, eternal Seeker
Torture shows in your smiles
Kid, befallen Angel
A Genius of a kind
Man, eternal Seeker
A poison of the mind
The firing squad proceeds
Sanctions the legacy
Leading to an exile
Desert land of Mercy
They dragged you in the mud
Crucified, your halo
They stoned the son of God
Disfigured, a hero
Kid, befallen Angel
Of Fear, reads in your eyes
Man, eternal Seeker
Torture shows in your smiles
Kid, befallen Angel
A Genius of a kind
Man, eternal Seeker
A poison of the mind
They killed the King of Pop
Not a word of remorse
Murdered the heart of Love
Now they feed on your corpse
They killed the King of Pop
For a taste of the fame
Foam-filled mouths that circle
Vultures feast on the shame
Kid, befallen Angel
Of Fear, reads in your eyes
Man, eternal Seeker
Torture shows in your smiles
Kid, befallen Angel
A Genius of a kind
Man, eternal Seeker
A poison of the mind
Michael, you are my heart
My youth, my joy, my pride
Michael, you are my love
Innocent, your divide
Michael, eyes of a child
Candid dreams you outshine
Michael, beauty asleep
Who has reached the Divine
Kid, befallen Angel
Fear once read in your eyes
Man, eternal Seeker
Torture has left your smiles
Kid, befallen Angel
A Genius of a kind
Man, eternal Seeker
In death, a peace you find
