Night Crawler lyrics

Howling winds keep screaming round

And the rain comes pouring down

Doors are locked and bolted now

As the thing crawls into town

Straight out of hell

One of a kind

Stalking his victim

Don't look behind you

Nightcrawler

Beware the beast in black

Nightcrawler

You know he's coming back

Night Crawler

Sanctuary is being sought

Whispered prayers a last resort

Homing in its' cry distorts

Terror struck they know they're caught

Straight out of hell

One of a kind

Stalking his victim

Don't look behind you

Nightcrawler

Beware the beast in black

Nightcrawler

You know he's coming back

Night Crawler

As night is falling

The end is drawing near

They'll hear

Their last rites echo on the wind

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

As it now descend the stairs

Hiding in the darkness

Is 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
