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
