TOMBSTONE NIGHT - by Ray O'Bannon


sun sets with a silent scream as the darkness gathers 'round
scrape scraping of a bloody claw buried deep beneath the ground
last light strikes a dying sparrow, chills run down your spine
all drowns in an inky blackness and the stars refuse to shine

like half a million nightmares coming true
could be a night you won't live through
long as you're alive best enjoy the view
'cause no matter where you are and no matter who
no matter what you say, no matter what you do
the thing in the darkness might come for you on a

chorus:
tombstone night, could be a tombstone night tonight
tombstone night, could be a tombstone night tonight
tombstone night, could be a tombstone night tonight
tombstone night, could be a tombstone night tonight

(chorus)
some nights like a velvet blanket
wrap you safe and warm inside
this night's more like broken glass
leave you oh so terrified, better run and hide
try to calm your shattered nerves
tell yourself it's all a dream
wondering if the beast can see you
will it hear you if you scream, such a very bad dream
no chance you're gonna see the morning, full moon shining bright on a
(chorus)

better stay inside with the lights down low in this night so deathly still
pray so hard for the sun to rise but there's a chance it never will
can't you hear the banshees cry, can't you hear them call you name
call it evil, call it nature, but it all works out the same

like half a million nightmares coming true
could be a night you won't live through
long as you're alive best enjoy the view
'cause no matter where you are and no matter who
no matter what you say, no matter what you do
the thing in the darkness might come for you on a
chorus:
tombstone night, tombstone night tonight...
