When the Sun Goes Down

Verse 1

Midnight crawls across the street,

Something wicked's on its feet,

Shadows move without a sound,

Hungry eyes are all around.

Pre-Chorus

Lock the doors and kill the light,

Nothing good is out tonight.

Chorus

Don't be around when the sun goes down,

They will come out when darkness falls,

Don't be around when the sun goes down,

The predators hunt beyond the walls.

They're out for blood when night comes down—

Don't be around when the sun goes down.

Post-Chorus

Hear them breathing in the night,

Better run before they bite.

Verse 2

Footsteps echo down the hall,

Crimson moonlight paints the wall,

Fangs are shining through a grin,

Night has let the monsters in.

Pre-Chorus

Feel the darkness closing tight,

There's no mercy after light.

Chorus

Don't be around when the sun goes down,

They will come out when darkness falls,

Don't be around when the sun goes down,

The predators hunt beyond the walls.

They're out for blood when night comes down—

Don't be around when the sun goes down.

Post-Chorus

No safe shadow, no safe street,

Something's hunting what it meets.

Bridge

When daylight dies, they come alive,

Driven by hunger, born to survive,

You can hear them calling your name—

Run like hell before you become their game.

Verse 3

Morning feels a world away,

Darkness won't release its prey,

Every second counts tonight,

Stay alive until the light.

Pre-Chorus

Dawn is coming—hold your ground,

Till the sunlight burns them down.

Chorus

Don't be around when the sun goes down,

They will come out when darkness falls,

Don't be around when the sun goes down,

The predators hunt beyond the walls.

They're out for blood when night comes down—

Don't be around when the sun goes down.

Post-Chorus

Wait for daylight, wait it out,

That's what surviving night's about.

Outro

Don't be around when the sun goes down

Don't be around when the sun goes down
