Nighthunter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Creeping after midnight, shadows on the wall
Something in the darkness, hear the footsteps fall
Faces at the window, creatures of the night
Seeking out a victim somewhere out of sight

[Pre-Chorus]
Coming out of nowhere, preying on your fear
If you wanna stay alive then keep away from here

[Chorus]
Midnight, creeping, shadow, nighthunter!
(Midnight, creeping, shadow)
Midnight, creeping, shadow, nighthunter!
(Midnight, creeping, shadow)

[Verse 2]
Mist across the forest, the baying of the pack
Hunters in the twilight never turn their back
When the full moon rises the chill is in the air
Keep your children safe tonight, the wolf has left his lair

[Pre-Chorus]
Coming out of nowhere, preying on your fear
If you wanna stay alive then keep away from here

[Chorus]
Midnight, creeping, shadow, nighthunter!
(Midnight, creeping, shadow)
Midnight, creeping, shadow, nighthunter!
(Midnight, creeping, shadow)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
Creeping after midnight, shadows on the wall
Something in the darkness, hear the footsteps fall
Faces at the window, creatures of the night
Seeking out a victim somewhere out of sight

[Pre-Chorus]
Coming out of nowhere, preying on your fear
If you wanna stay alive then keep away from here

[Chorus]
Midnight, creeping, shadow, nighthunter!
(Midnight, creeping, shadow)
Midnight, creeping, shadow, nighthunter!
(Midnight, creeping, shadow)
Midnight, creeping, shadow, nighthunter!
(Midnight, creeping, shadow)
Midnight, creeping, shadow
(Midnight, creeping, shadow)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Generally speaking, this track revolves around the haunting concept of predators lurking in the darkness of the night that prey on fear and seek out victims under the cover of shadows. Its central theme revolves around the sense of unease and vulnerability that comes with the unknown and the dangers that lurk in the night. It can also be seen as a metaphor for our primal fear and the instinctual drive to survive in the face of danger, hinting at the timeless and universal fear of the unknown and the unseen.
