What will you do, when the sky loses, its fair light?
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.

When you hear the howls, coming closer, to your range of sight,
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.

Do you feel the fear, brewing from the thought of fiendish bite?
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.

Perhaps you anticipate, their cruel snarls, and ///'///cursed spite?
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.

If you were holy, perhaps your god would grant his smite.
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.

But truth be told, in the end, it///'///ll be alright.
Just lay down your head, and say "good night."
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.

What will you do, when the sky loses, its fair light?
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.

When you hear the howls, coming closer, to your range of sight,
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.

Do you feel the fear, brewing from the thought of fiendish bite?
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.

Perhaps you anticipate, their cruel snarls, and ///'///cursed spite?
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.

If you were holy, perhaps your god would grant his smite.
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.

But truth be told, in the end, it///'///ll be alright.
Just lay down your head, and say "good night."
When predatory hounds, come out at night,
Nestle in your bed, safely sleeping, tucked in tight.
