Midnight , Moonlight (Revised)
Midnight, Moonlight Midnight, moonlight, lost in the black night The headless horseman is coming up the road You’re shaking, shivering, quivering in fright He might take you off to Satan’s dark abode Crouching, creeping, oppression is sweeping A grey mist encompassing everything around The sorrowful sound of a young girl weeping The manic laughter around you does resound Darkness, lightless, you’re groping sightless The smell of rotting corpses permeates the air Fingers touching something cold and lifeless Bloated maggots crawl all through your hair Tottering and turning, your flesh is burning The white hot cinders are blistering your feet Your nerves are jangling, stomach is churning There’s no way forward but you can’t retreat Staggering, stumbling, in blindness fumbling Cold hand of death is placed upon your knee Mutations gathering, dark voices grumbling The Devil invites you ‘Come dance with me’ Squirming, sneaking, huge rats are squeaking Bat wings are flapping all around your head A coffin lid opens with an ominous creaking Voices are wailing from the land of the dead Slithering and slipping, your mind is flipping The scream of a banshee sounding in your ear Tentacles entwining you and tightly gripping It’s hard to breathe, you are frozen with fear Daylight, nice sight, it makes you feel alright The dawn brings a refuge and keeps you sane You made it through the long and black night In a few more hours it will be darkness again Midnight, moonlight, lost in the black night The headless horseman is coming up the road You’re shaking, shivering, quivering in fright He might take you off to Satan’s dark abode
