Lyrics

Night Side

Horror stalks the dark night

Keeps the world from our sight

We can't see all of the silent ones coming

To take the ultimate bite

No lucky charm will suffice

To keep the monsters at bay

No clove of garlic or crucifix ever

Kept the vampires away

Nightside, nightside

Open wide, open wide

Nightside, hell-born

Nightside, devil-spawn

Darkness, in our poor eyes

Helps the night to disguise

The legions of crawling &

Hopping black horrors

Who come to aid our demise

No lucky charms ever help

To keep us safe while we sleep

No incantation or pentacle ever

Kept the strong from the weak

Nightside, nightside

Open wide, open wide

Nightside, hell-born

Nightside, devil-spawn

Nightside, nightside

Demons ride, demons ride

Nightside, ripped and torn

Nightside, devil-spawn

Terror, afraid of the dark

Hear the devil dog bark

You cannot hope you can

Ever outrun them

And their teeth are ever so sharp

No way to save your poor self

No way to keep you immune

No magic ever produced will assist you

To outlive the full of the moon

Nightside, nightside

Open wide, open wide

Nightside, hell-born

Nightside, devil-spawn

Nightside, open wide

Nightside, devil-spawn

Nightside, nightside
