Night Crawler

[Verse 1]

Howling winds keep screaming around

And the rain comes pouring down

Doors are locked and bolted now

As the thing crawls into town

[Chorus]

Straight out of hell

One of a kind

Stalking his victim

Don't look behind you

Night crawler

Beware the beast in black

Night crawler

You know he's coming back

Night crawler

[Verse 2]

Sanctuary is being sought

Whispered prayers our last resort

Homing in its cry distorts

Terror struck they know they're caught

[Chorus]

Straight out of hell

One of a kind

Stalking his victim

Don't look behind you

Night crawler

Beware the beast in black

Night crawler

You know he's coming back

Night crawler

[Verse 3]

As night is falling

The end is drawing near

They'll hear

Their last rites echo on the wind

[Bridge – spoken]

Huddled in the cellar

Fear caught in their eyes

Daring not to move or breathe

As the creature cries

Fingernails start scratching

On the outside wall

Clawing at the windows

Come to me it calls

Atmosphere's electric

It now descends the stairs

Hiding in the darkness

So futile from its glare

Death comes in an instant

As they hoped it would

Souls ascend to heaven

While it feasts on flesh and blood

[Chorus]

Straight out of hell

One of a kind

Stalking his victim

Don't look behind you

Night crawler

Beware the beast in black

Night crawler

You know he's coming back

Night crawler

[Outro]

He's going to get you

Beware of the beast

Night crawler

Beware of the beast

He's going to get you

Night crawler
