Cover of the Night

As night approaches and the moon starts ascent
Everyone hurries so, to hide from the threat
Neither man nor animal would be safe from the harm
For to stay in plain sight, you’d meet with regret

The animals scurry so, to hide from the threat
They know what approaches, what evil looms
For to stay in plain sight, you would meet with regret
As the night brings the beast that introduces doom

They know what approaches, what evil looms
So all rush to avoid the threat of the moons kill
As the night brings the beast that introduces doom
It spills the blood of all, for just a mere thrill

So all rush to avoid the threat of the moons kill
For to stay in plain sight, you’d meet with regret
It spills the blood of all, for just a mere thrill
Everyone hurries so, to hide from the threat
