The Haunting Lyrics

The darkness bleeds violent sights
It purges from within
Death, it holds you in its arms
And kisses you goodnight

Oh, oh, oh, the darkness comes
Oh, oh, oh, I feel its bite
Oh, it purges from within
It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists, and watch me bleed
Inside a dream

It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists and watch me bleed
They stop haunting me

The darkness bleeds violent sights
It purges from within
Death, it holds you in its arms
And kisses you goodnight

Oh, oh, oh, the darkness comes
Oh, oh, oh, I feel its bite
Oh, it purges from within
It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists, and watch me bleed
Inside a dream
It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists and watch me bleed
They stop haunting me

The darkness bleeds violent sights It purges from within Death, it holds you in its arms And kisses you goodnight

I think that means that everything is so messed up we see fucked up shit and finally death has us in its arms meaning youre ready; to die ..then kisses you goodnight means its finally the end and death is done with you.

Oh, oh, oh, the darkness comes Oh, oh, oh, I feel its bite Oh, it purges from within It's over, it's over This haunting, it's over They cut my wrists, and watch me bleed Inside a dream

I think that means a nightmare youre seeing what is going to happen and youre so scared and you can feel it within youreself and youre getting cut and there watchign you bleed while you sit there in the dream.

It's over, it's over This haunting, it's over They cut my wrists and watch me bleed They stop haunting me

The dream is over and finally this all stops

I love this sogn its all abotu a nightmare i think

This song is awesome. Definitely one of my favorites from The Misfits with Graves. I randomly get this song stuck in my head even when not listening to it for weeks! I think this song is about going crazy, which ties in what FRANK had said. It is actually a pretty terrifying song, if you look at the lyrics. What kind of escape does he dream for?

Cover art for The Haunting lyrics by Misfits

I am having for a thing for this at the moment i play it over and over again. All the songs I hear from The Misfits just catch on to me and I always get them stuck in my head, I have only recently listen to their songs and I already like them heaps

Cover art for The Haunting lyrics by Misfits

yeah the misfits have rythms that are either bad-ass or melodic

Someone's being haunted, possibly by violent visions and darkness that don't go away...In the end the haunting fades away because, after all, it's only in a dream...right?
