Creatures
The moon rises
The sun sets
The world turns dark
And the creatures of night
Find their way out

The innocent sleep
The wicked trick
The thirsty drink
And the mad find
Their victims for the night

The young dance
The old sit
The evil hunt
And the pure stay
So they’re not turned

Time passes
Ever so slowly
Tick… tock…
Tick… tock…

The moon sets
The sun rises
The world turns bright
And the creatures of night
Find their hiding places
Once again
