Lyrics

We know all the words of power,

We possess knowledge of influential words or spells.

All about the witching hour,

We are familiar with mystical and magical occurrences around midnight.

We know the reason why you're scared,

We understand the cause of your fear.

And here comes your nightmare.

Your nightmare is approaching or unfolding.


Over your shoulder honey, you don't wanna turn around,

Be cautious; looking over your shoulder may reveal something unwanted.

Bring the night closer, we are gonna bring you down,

We are advancing the night, and we will bring you down.

It's the times that we live in, erosion of the mind,

The current era fosters mental decay; it's easy to be unkind and challenging to be compassionate.

Easy to be cruel, hard to be kind.

Behaving cruelly comes naturally, while kindness is difficult.


When the mode of music changes,

When the style of music changes, significant effects reverberate through the surroundings.

The walls around the city shakes,

The very foundations of the city tremble with this musical shift.

Look into the face of danger,

Facing imminent peril directly and boldly.

We know how to make you break.

We know how to push you to the breaking point.


Over your shoulder honey, right behind your back,

Be wary; we are closely following you.

Make you a true believer, maybe give you heart attack

We might make you a fervent believer, potentially causing a heart attack.

We are what you made us, see what we can find,

We are a product of your influence, and we will uncover things you may not want to see.

Easy to be cruel, hard to be kind.

It's easier to be unkind than to exhibit kindness.


We can't help the way we feel,

We cannot control our emotions, and we are not interested in negotiation.

We don't want to make a deal,

We have no intention of making a compromise or agreement.

Look out, honey, use your head,

Be cautious, use your intelligence.

Might be murder in your bed.

There might be a sinister plot or danger in your intimate space.


Over your shoulder honey, the face still shines,

Even when you look away, the presence or influence remains.

Nobody you recognize, isn't yours, isn't mine,

Familiar faces are absent, and what you see doesn't belong to anyone you know.

See the mouth smiling, make the words rhyme,

The smiling face speaks, creating poetic and possibly deceptive words.

Easy to be cruel, hard to be kind.

Being unkind is straightforward, while being kind is challenging.
