Night Crawler Lyrics
And the rain comes pouring down
Doors are locked and bolted now
As the thing crawls into town Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you Nightcrawler
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler Sanctuary is being sought
Whispered prayers a last resort
Homing in its' cry distorts
Terror struck they know they're caught
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler As night is falling
The end is drawing near
They'll hear
Their last rites echo on the wind
Fear caught in their eyes
Daring not to move or breathe
As the creature cries
Fingernails start scratching
On the outside wall
Clawing at the windows
"Come to me" it calls
Atmosphere's electric
As it now descend the stairs
Is so futile from its glare
Death comes in an instant
As they hoped it would
Souls ascend to heaven
While it feasts on flesh and blood
Night Crawler has no relation with X-men character. It is merely called NIGHT crawler because well...
Hiding in the darkness Is so futile from its glare Death comes in an instant As they hoped it would Souls ascend to heaven While it feasts on flesh and blood
HE IS THE BEAST IN BLACK.
Yeah, good song. Perhaps this song is about the character "Nightcrawler" from X-Men? That's what I think. Also, I remember a line in Metal Meltdown that says "Something's coming, in the night"
Nope, nothing close to it, only the name.
Nope, nothing close to it, only the name.
"Souls ascend to heaven While it feasts on flesh and blood"
These lines give me a sadistically pleasant feeling:D
A fictional monster, right? I mean, that's what pretty much Priest's lyrics are about, right? Fantasy stuff. Anyway the song kicks a ton of ass.
Yeah, last verse kicks ass. Another good track on Painkiller.
this is pretty eerie lyrics , but it kix ass, wonder if it was inspired by something
Well, the song was written same period where Ted Bundy was actually executed...One of the names he was given were the night crawler, so I assume, it might gave some kind of inspiration to the band at the time to write a song about a monster who attacks people during the night... I mean, his story kinda fits almost the whole song...
I think this song could really about a rapist that stalks kid victims at night.. dressed In black, clawing a window watching someone from outside the window.. I think it fits pretty well
Is this the coolest song of all time? No. But it's pretty frigging close.
Excellent track, very cool live
