If there's nothing in the darkness Then why do you lie awake? Something in the shadows Is keeping you from sleep What are you afraid of? Hiding in the night Haunting figures appear In the corner of your eye
Is death waiting to lash out A ghost behind the breeze A devil in the corn field Or the beast among the trees All these wretched raving ravens All harbingers of your doom Is the black cat crossing your path? A prelude to your tomb
The sun falls like a guillotine The dark comes alive with unsavory beings Lock your door Run and hide Hold your breath And you just might survive the night Your safety's false Your logic skewed Now your complacent Point of view It'll be the true death of you
Are there creaks in the floorboards When you're alone in your room? Are the footsteps in the attic With each rising of the moon Strange sounds in the distance Whatever could they be? You're powerless to the deadly Foul things lurking unseen
The sun falls like a guillotine The dark comes alive with unsavory beings Lock your door And Run and hide And Hold your breath And you just might survive the night Your safety's false Your logic skewed Now your complacent Point of view It'll be the true death of you
Chattering teeth And Rattling bones Out in the blackness Your nightmares grow Dreadful thoughts Make your blood run cold The witching hour Has taken hold Deep in the bleak Recess of your soul Is where the terror makes its home
If there's nothing in the darkness Then why do you lie awake? Something in the shadows Is keeping you from sleep?
