As the dusk is drawing closer,
And the night is drawing in,
The streets will slowly empty,
The safe time will be over,
And the shadows’ reign will now begin…
Don’t walk the streets alone my friend,
Don’t leave the house at night,
The shadows rule the town this time;
Your play-time, it will swiftly end,
Please stay inside, keep out of sight.
Can’t you hear them?
Can’t you feel them?
The shadows, the shadows…
If you leave your house tonight,
You’ll see what it is I saw,
Your worst nightmare will be revealed,
The shadows, then they’ll erase your sight,
Trapped with your nightmare forever more…
The shadows, the shadows…
As the dusk is drawing closer,
And the night is drawing in,
The streets will slowly empty,
The safe time will be over,
And the shadows’ reign will now begin.
Don’t leave the house my friend
