Creatures of the Night

At the edge of the world, in the dead of the night
A lighthouse looms over the ocean
And a body lies curled, such a sinister sight
Guts and gore on the shore Nova Scotian

Was that a blood-curdling cry, or the innocent sigh of a child?
Well, it rattles your soul as the dark takes control
It's enough to drive you wild

When you're a creature of the night!
All alone in the black, feel your sanity crack
A creature of the night!
Do your demons reside
In the side that you hide from the light?
You creature of the night

In this eerie old lighthouse, thrashed by the tide
Live triplets whose mother suspiciously died
And suspects uncanny, a constable, a nanny
Do they all have secrets to hide?

As detective, my objective is following the clues
Someone's tale is the truth, but I don't yet know whose
Was the mother all there mentally? Died accidentally?
Or is there a killer (is there a killer) I have to accuse?

In the dark of the storm
This light helps you steer
I'm surrounded by shadows (surrounded by shadows)
What monsters might appear? (What monsters might appear?)

When you're a creature of the night
In the bleak midnight rain, could you go so insane?
A creature of the night!
In the bone-chilling cold, as the madness takes hold
See the blood drip, drip, drip while your grip starts to slip
Do your demons reside
In the side that you hide from the light?
Are you a creature of the night?

(Is it you? Is it you?) A creature of the night
(Is it you? Is it true?) A creature of the night
(At the edge of the world, a body lies curled)
A creature of the night!
