Howling winds keep screaming 'round   And the rain comes pouring down   Doors are locked and bolted now   As the thing crawls into town      Straight out of hell   One of a kind   Stalking his victim   Don't look behind you   Night crawler   Beware the beast is black   Night crawler   You know he's coming back   Night crawler      Sanctuary is being sought   Whispered prayers our last resort   Homing in its cry distorts   Terror struck they know they're caught      Straight out of hell   One of a kind   Stalking his victim   Don't look behind you   Night crawler   Beware the beast is black   Night crawler   You know he's coming back   Night crawler      As night is falling   The end is drawing near   They'll hear   Their last rites echo on the wind      Huddled in the cellar   Fear caught in their eyes   Daring not to move or breathe   As the creature cries   Fingernails start scratching   On the outside wall   Clawing at the windows   Come to me it calls      Atmosphere's electric   As it now descends the stairs   Hiding in the darkness   Is so futile from its glare   Death comes in an instant   As they hoped it would   Souls ascend to heaven   While it feasts on flesh and blood      Straight out of hell   One of a kind   Stalking his victim   Don't look behind you   Night crawler   Beware the beast is black   Night crawler   You know he's coming back   Night crawler   Beware the beast is black   Night crawler   You know he's coming back   Night crawler      He's gonna get you   He's gonna get you   Beware of the beast   Night crawler   Beware of the beast   He's gonna get you   Night crawler   Straight out of hell   Beware of the beast   He's gonna get you
