In a graveyard in West Virginia There was the very first sight A manlike figure with ten-foot wings Flying out into the night Flew down the highway, down route number 2 Eyes burning red like fire I know what it came here to do Don't you dare call me a liar Look to the sky see the Mothman fly Make sure you look away before you die The Mothman lives believe it or not I saw it with my own two eyes I know what it did to the bridge that day I saw it smile as it took their lives That time's now far behind us We thought the Mothman gone Fifty dark years later Seems it found a brand new home The creature came to Chicago Dark spires rimed with frost Raising hell colder than perdition How many lives will now be lost? Look to the sky see the Mothman fly Make sure you look away before you die The Mothman lives believe it or not I saw it with my own two eyes I know what it did to the bridge that day I saw it smile as it took their lives I saw it smile, I saw it smile, I saw it smile As it took their lives
