The time has come for us to hide,
From far beyond comes the darkest tide,
Children of the day must stand aside,
For thus is such when darkness falls.
The eery hoot of the owl so wise,
Heralds the movements of a thing not nice,
For now they scamper, I mean the mice,
For thus is such when darkness falls.
Out he comes, the boogey man,
To haunt all those who snatched and ran,
Heralder of kids from an evil clan,
For thus is such when darkness fall.
A sinking feeling now fills my heart,
For now I see the evils I'd never start,
Fear has come and done its part,
For thus is such when darkness falls.
Remember the nights when thunder did clap,
And the sound of branches that did snap,
Fear has caught you in his trap,
For thus is such when darkness falls.
