Unheavenly Creatures Lyrics

We were young and had it all figured out
She was the quiet one and I had the mouth
Until she fell to a knee

We escaped from the alley in the back
Dodged all the creature, don't you dare go back
But I couldn't dodge the ringing in my head
The lonely solemn voice to the echoes as it said:
"Please don't leave me here, my love"

Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To open and follow to the letter
I feel, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun

There was something I forgot to tell her then
Between the kiss and "Knock em dead, kid"
There will be no other like you

Now I can't keep the guilt from my heart
These startling emotions keep me fixed to fall apart
I know I'm leaving all this sweat in your bed
A broken heart bleeding with a gun to my head

Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To open and follow to the letter
I feel, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun

Like a son of a gun
A son of a gun
With the weight of the world on the shoulders, can you feel the thunder?

All Unheavenly Creatures
All Unheavenly Creatures
On the way to the car, I heard her voice a little louder
"Please don't leave me here, my love"

Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To open and follow to the letter
I feel, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun

Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To open and follow to the letter
I feel, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun

This is the story of the botched bank heist that eventually landed Creature and Colossus in the Dark Sentencer.

The criminal crew that would go on to be known as the Unheavenly Creatures, Otto, Nostrand, and Nostrand's lover Nia (a.k.a. Sister Spider) carry out a meticulously planned bank heist that does not go off without a hitch. While Nostrand stays in the bank lobby to ensure none of the bank's occupants make any wrong moves, Otto and Nia loot the vault. Nostrand suddenly hears gunshots from the vault area and Otto runs out claiming a guard appeared out of nowhere and shot Nia, and that the two men need to leave immediately.

Nostrand is unwilling to leave Nia, believing she could still be alive despite Otto's insistence to the contrary. Otto is only able to convince creature to leave by threatening to kill everyone in the bank as well as a woman who happens to be walking by outside of the bank as they attempt to make their escape.

While Nostrand and Otto do make it away from the bank, they are eventually caught by the Houses of the Star Supremacy, and as they face judgment, Otto reveals to Nostrand that he knew Nia was dead because he was the one who pulled the trigger.
