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
