[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Afraid to walk the streets

In the coldness, all alone

The blackness of the night

Engulfs your flesh and bones

Hoping for relief

From the fear you feel inside

Losing all perspective

Of reality in the night

[Chorus]

Running from shadows

Blinded by fear

The horror of nightfall

Is ever so near

I slowly surround you

As terror sets in

Are you afraid of the night?

[Verse 2]

I see the fright in your eyes

As you turn and run

But is your mind playing tricks

On a body so very young?

Feeling as if no one cares

The fear runs down your spine

But I know I'll never rest

Until I know you're mine

[Chorus]

Running from shadows

Blinded by fear

The horror of nightfall

Is ever so near

I slowly surround you

As terror sets in

Are you afraid of the night?

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Verse 3]

Afraid to walk the streets

In the coldness, all alone

The blackness of the night

Engulfs your flesh and bones

Feeling as if no one cares

The fear runs down your spine

But I know I'll never rest

Until I know you're mine

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Outro]

I know you're mine

Too late to hide

Too late to save your life
