It was an ancient time - on an eerie night - in a distant land In my darkest hour I've been laid with a curse I was trapped in this life - unsuspecting, innocent Restless and wild - have to pay the prize I gotta follow the call - in the moonlit night Just around nightfall - you'll better hide [Chorus:] I'm comin' near - increasing fear - beware the nightstalker No time to lose, or time to choose - don't let you steps falter A slave to darkness - bound to the night You'll never hear my feet nor ever see my shade Mirror on the wall never shows my sight An eternal walk is my tragic fate I gotta follow the call - in the moonlit night Just around nightfall - you'll better hide [Chorus:] I'm coming near - increasing fear - beware the nightstalker No time to lose, or time to choose - don't let your steps falter Wandering through the ages - my eyes never see the day One bite will be contagious - would you dance with the wicked In the midnight hour - do you dare to go I will devour Keep hold on to your crucifix I'm out for a sacrifice By the pale moonlight, wish I could be strong Knowing the deeds I've done must be wrong Down on my knees I pray to God above: "Give me peace of mind and protect the things I love!" There's an inner struggle with the beast inside I'm led by the instinct - gonna lose this fight [Chorus:] I'm coming near - increasing fear - beware the nightstalker No time to lose, or time to choose - don't let your steps falter
