Night Crawler
Judas Priest Lyrics

Howling winds keep screaming round
The atmosphere is eerie and unsettling

And the rain comes pouring down
The weather reflects the ominous feeling of impending doom

Doors are locked and bolted now
People are taking precautions to protect themselves

As the thing crawls into town
An entity has arrived with malicious intent

Straight out of hell
The entity is pure evil

One of a kind
The entity is unique and unparalleled in its destructive abilities

Stalking his victim
The entity is searching for its next target

Don't look behind you
The entity is stealthy and can strike at any moment

Night crawler
The name given to the ominous entity

Beware the beast in black
The entity is a fierce predator to be feared

You know he's coming back
The entity is persistent and will keep hunting

Sanctuary is being sought
People are desperately seeking refuge

Whispered prayers a last resort
People are turning to religion for protection

Homing in its' cry distorts
The entity's presence is causing disruptions and distortions

Terror struck they know they're caught
People are paralyzed with fear and feel trapped

As night is falling
The situation is becoming increasingly dangerous

The end is drawing near
People are running out of time

They'll hear
The sounds of the entity closing in on them

Their last rites echo on the wind
People are preparing for their inevitable demise

Huddled in the cellar
People are hiding in the basement

Fear caught in their eyes
They are overwhelmed with terror

Daring not to move or breathe
They are afraid to make any noise or movement that could attract the entity's attention

As the creature cries
The entity's eerie cries can be heard

Fingernails start scratching
The entity is trying to break in

On the outside wall
The entity is lurking outside the house

Clawing at the windows
The entity is relentlessly trying to gain entry

"Come to me" it calls
The entity is taunting its victims

Atmosphere's electric
The tension is escalating

As it now descend the stairs
The entity is getting closer to its prey

Hiding in the darkness
People are trying to stay hidden

Is so futile from its glare
The entity can easily detect its victims in the dark

Death comes in an instant
The entity is a swift and efficient killer

As they hoped it would
People have resigned themselves to their fate

Souls ascend to heaven
The victims' souls are leaving their bodies

While it feasts on flesh and blood
The entity is consuming its prey

He's gonna get you (he's gonna get you, he's gonna get you)
The entity's threat is imminent

Beware the beast (beware the beast, beware the beast)
People should be cautious of the entity

Night crawler (night crawler, night crawler)
The entity's name is repeated for emphasis

Beware, beware (beware the beast, beware the beast)
The entity is a danger to all who encounter it
