[Verse 1]

Howling winds keep screaming around

And the rain comes pouring down

Doors are locked and bolted now

As the thing crawls into town

[Chorus]

Straight out of hell

One of a kind

Stalking his victim

Don't look behind you

Night crawler

Beware the beast in black

Night crawler

You know he's coming back

Night crawler

[Verse 2]

Sanctuary is being sought

Whispered prayers our last resort

Homing in, its cry distorts

Terror struck. they know they're caught

[Chorus]

Straight out of hell

One of a kind

Stalking his victim

Don't look behind you

Night crawler

Beware the beast in black

Night crawler

You know he's coming back

Night crawler

[Verse 3]

As night is falling

The end is drawing near

They'll hear

Their last rites echo on the wind

[Bridge]

Huddled in the cellar

Fear caught in their eyes

Daring not to move or breathe

As the creature cries

Fingernails start scratching

On the outside walls

Clawing at the windows

"Come to me", it calls

Atmosphere's electric

As it now descends the stairs

Hiding in the darkness

Is so futile from its glare

Death comes in an instant

As they hoped it would

Souls ascend to heaven

While it feasts on flesh and blood

[Chorus]

Straight out of hell

One of a kind

Stalking his victim

Don't look behind you

Night crawler

Beware the beast in black

Night crawler

You know he's coming back

Night crawler

Beware the beast in black

Night crawler

You know he's coming back

Night crawler

[Outro]

He's gonna get to you

Beware of the beast

Night crawler

Beware of the beast

He's gonna get to you

Night crawler

Beware of the beast
