The elders spoke
Many tales of them before
Surrounding fires
Tales that we've been told that
Ghastly things
That desecrates and haunts
Comes at night
Shrouded in the mist
The setting sun
The setting sun
Cause great concern
And as the mist merge
With the coming night
Lingering fiends
Beyond the tree line
Until nightfall
Lock the door
And seal the windows
Until nightfall
Cut the lights
And don't make a sound
Until nightfall
Hush and pray
That you won't be next
Until nightfall
Furious snarls
Echoes in the dark
Shrills multiply
Between the oaks
Desperate cattle
Fight the restraints
Avoid the light
Avoid the light
And be completely still
Clasping hands
Through out the night
Keep your loved ones close
Until nightfall
Lock the door
And seal the windows
Until nightfall
Cut the lights
And don't make a sound
Until nightfall
Hush and pray
That you won't be next
Until nightfall
Until nightfall
Are they coming to night?
Rig the door shut, brother
Are they coming for us?
Blow your candle out, son
Have they seen us yet?
Nail the door shut, brother
Can they sense us here?
Hide your tears and hush, sister
Scratch on the doors
Hinges break loose
Chilling breeze
And the door flies open
In darkness
A foul hand
Grabs a mother
And pulls her into
Oblivion
One by one
Is dragged away
Across the yard
And into the woods
Screams of horror
Agony and fear
All fades into unheard
Stillness
Left alone
Is one child only
Left in ruins
Left in tears
Left to live
Left to serve
Left alive
To tell the tale
Of nightfall
