Dusk falls red to black on the horizon
Casting ghastly visions on the waters
A black mirror reflecting fears
Of all who gaze upon the twisted face
Luna rises, hovering skull haze
In the woods... by the lake...
There are chants... and blue flames...
The moon is full... stretching shades....
Glowing canyon.... Moonlight Shadows...
They have returned again...
What are these shadows
Floating through the trees
Moonlight Shadows in the fog
Phantoms in the dark
Secret symbols in the forest
Horns up to the sky
The scent of burning, bells are ringing
In the dead of night
Midnight strikes, heart beats faster
Nightmares come alive
In your head, wicked laughter
By your bed, a black form lingers
Staring with red eyes
Room is spinning, body rising
Black sun on the lake
Dematerialize...
When Moonlight Shadows return again upon nocturnal tides
And evening gaunts wail eerily through the leaves
You better say your prayers, you better run and hide
The Moonlight Shadows shall be close nearby...
