Murder At Midnight
Powerwolf Lyrics

A murder in the dark
A killing happened during night-time where there was poor visibility.

The convent in the night
The murder took place near or at a religious building during nighttime.

The constable is on the way
The officer in charge of investigating the incident is making their way to the scene of the crime.

The suspect out of sight
The perpetrator of the crime is not visible or has fled the scene.

He trampled down the garden lane
The suspect left tracks as he fled the crime scene through the garden.

The mystery has begun
The investigation into the crime has just started, and there are many unknowns.

He signed by the pentagram
There is evidence that the killer has made a dark, occult symbol.

And now is on the run
The killer has fled and is trying to avoid capture by the authorities.

I gotta tell you a story
The singer is narrating a tale of mystery and horror to the listener.

And the story we start right at the scene of the crime
The narrative begins with the backdrops of the murder.

Another murder and tonight he's left in time
The murderer has eluded capture again, despite committing another killing the same night.

Another victim had gone
Another person was killed and is now gone.

Another inhuman slaughter on the lane of a park
The brutal murder occurred in a public park on a path.

And still the chief inspector tumbling in the dark
The lead detective is struggling to get to the bottom of these gruesome murders.

At night I saw him
The singer has witnessed something related to the crime during night-time.

Can you recall him?
The singer asks if the listener can provide any helpful details or identify the killer from their memory.

And not a soul has called
Nobody has come forward with information about the murder, despite it being a significant event.

He must have done it alone
The detectives believe that the murderer acted alone.

He is a master of hiding, and he left not a trace
The killer is skilled at evading detection and has managed to clean up any evidence that could lead back to them.

And by the moonlight saw the goat shape of his face
The murderer was briefly visible in the pale moonlight, and the detectives got a glimpse of his disturbing features.

He got an interrogation and they tried hard to break him but it couldn't be proved
The investigators tried to force a confession out of the suspect but failed to find any concrete evidence to prove that he committed the crime.

The only trace they ever found was cloven hooved
The only indication of the killer's identity were the footprints they left behind which appeared to belong to a hooved animal.

Oh oh oh
Vocalization.

Crawling around us
The killer seems to be moving and watching the detectives.

Murder at midnight
Another killing happened at the stroke of midnight.

The enemy on the way
The killer is still at large and poses a significant threat.

Will he return with the day?
The detectives are unsure if the killer will keep committing these crimes at night or change his pattern.

The devil's seed on the way
The investigators believe that the murderer is influenced by something demonic in their nature.

And then we tell you to pray
The detectives are warning the public to stay safe and be cautious.
