When dusk falls
Another world arises
The undead awake
Cold and heartless
They stalk the shadows
Pretend to be human
I know how they feel
And it’s with them I run at twilight
To hide in the dark
To hide from the night
Because that’s when I need you most
But you’re not here
And I’m cold and numb
So, it’s with the living dead I roam
And I blend in much too well
