Lyrics
Monsters in the Dark

(Verse)
On Halloween the lines between the worlds all fade away
And nightmare scenes from horror dreams appear in twilight grey
In shadowed lanes there’s something strange come creeping in the night
A furtive step, a dark silhouette, rising up to bite
(Chorus)
There are monsters in the dark
Waiting patiently
There are monsters in the dark
On all Hallow’s eve
You can lock your doors
But you cant ignore
Each victim’s final scream
There are monsters in the dark
Just like me
(Musical Interlude)
(Bridge)
You’d better run, you’d better hide, you know you’d better pray
You’ve got to stay alive from Midnight till the break of day
(Chorus)
There are monsters in the dark
Waiting patiently
There are monsters in the dark
On all Hallow’s eve
You can lock your doors
But you cant ignore
Each victim’s final scream
There are monsters in the dark
Just like me
And we’re coming to get you
Monsters in the dark
Just like me
I said just like me
And we’re coming to get you
(Fade)
