Lyrics

The moon is bleeding silver through the trees
Whispers ride the wind like a deadly disease
Every shadow’s moving when you turn away
And something in the dark wants you to stay
The clocks all stutter, the air turns cold
The stories you’ve heard are all true and old
Footsteps follow where no one should be
And the night is watching patiently

You think you’re alone, but you’re not tonight
Something’s breathing just out of sight

Strange things happen after midnight
When the darkness eats the daylight
Every nightmare’s born again
Every whisper knows your name
You can run but you can’t fight
What crawls from the other side
Better pray and hold on tight
Cause strange things happen after midnight

Eyes in the alley glow a burning red
They’re reading every thought inside your head
The ground feels hollow underneath your feet
Like something’s digging up from the deep
Doors swing open with no one near
Every creak is a voice you don’t want to hear
The veil between worlds grows paper-thin
And the monsters know how to get in

You think you’re safe, but you’re not tonight
Something’s breathing just out of sight

Strange things happen after midnight
When the darkness eats the daylight
Every nightmare’s born again
Every whisper knows your name
You can run but you can’t fight
What crawls from the other side
Better pray and hold on tight
Cause strange things happen after midnight

Don’t open the door
Don’t answer the call
Once you let them in
They’ll take it all

Midnight calls, the shadows grin
The hour strikes, they pull you in
No dawn will come, no sun will rise
Just hungry mouths and hollow eyes

Strange things happen after midnight
When the darkness eats the daylight
Every nightmare’s born again
Every whisper knows your name
You can run but you can’t fight
What crawls from the other side
Better pray and hold on tight
Cause strange things happen after midnight

And the night will never let you go
After midnight you’ll never know
