There's a scream in the night, death on the wind
And a heartbeat that's pounding like rain
There's a flash in the sky, a cry of a hound
As if someone is wailing the dead
And the nightmare begins as the Devil rides out
From the heat through the gates of Hell
And there's no escape from the curse of the damned
Oh, you better beware
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Better lock up your doors and get off the streets
If you fear for the reaper of souls
For they say when he rides he never returns
'Til he's paid back the debt that he's owed
So beware of the night as the darkness descends
The terror's about to unfold
And pray that your life will be spared of the fate
Oh
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
And the nightmare begins as the Devil rides out
From the heat through the gates of Hell
And there's no escape from the curse of the damned
Oh, you better beware
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
