SOMETHING OUT THERE - by Ray O'Bannon


there's something out there
there's something out there
run to your houses, lock all your doors, did you not see the setting sun
hush all your voices, the beast might hear, be silent everyone
beneath a cold uncaring sky a shadow walks the night
beware the monster you have made, beware the creature's bite
chorus:
once was a time just an ounce of compassion
might well have closed the gate
but now it's far too late, there's something out there
just beyond the edge of light, there's something out there
cloaked in deepest darkest night, there's something out there
nothing anyone can do, there's something out there
something's coming after you, there's something out there

there's something out there
there's something out there
and does this monster not look familiar, made by your own hands
did you not once look around you, did you fail to understand
this monster feeds on your hatred and greed, all your anger, all your rage
this monster knows you all too well, read the last line, turn the page
there's something out there
there's something out there
there's something out there
where can you run when you've fenced yourself in, blocked your own way out
where can you turn when you've chained yourself down, and what's the fuss about
you must have known it would end in chaos, must have felt it from the start
doomed by your own creation and your cold unyeilding heart
there's something out there
(chorus)
there's something out there
there's something out there...
