(Verse 1) In ages lost, when skies were torn, A beast was birthed from night and storm. It walks where moonlight hides its face, And none return who leave their place. (Verse 2) No iron blade can pierce its skin, It smells the guilt that lies within. Its breath is cold, its voice is low, It speaks in tongues no man should know. (Chorus) So lock the door and bar it tight, Beware the thing that walks at night. Its eyes are fire, its hands are bone, It walks the darkened paths alone. (Verse 3) A thousand years it's stalked the trees, It rides the wind, it splits the seas. It feeds not flesh but fear and lies, It drinks the tears of those who die. (Bridge – Chanted whisper) Ash to ash, and blood to root, It comes when flutes of death are mute. A shadow born of war and flame, With none who live to speak its name. (Chorus – Reprise) So hold your breath and kill the light, Beware the thing that walks at night. No prayer can turn its feet away, It comes for those who go astray. (Outro) If you should hear a tapping sound... Don’t turn your head. Don’t make a sound.
