The most feared things are the things we cannot see
The beast in the night hiding in the shadows on the street
Just waiting to scare you
Just waiting to scare you
Just waiting to hear your scream
Across the distant oceans
Are the monsters we fear most and
We can’t even check under the bed
For things we left unsaid
She told you to trust her
You thought she was safe
But you were betrayed
‘Cause you had been played
Just a fool
Just a hapless fool
It went and happened to you
How could this happen to you
Keep running, son, ‘cause you don’t know what to do when it comes, son
So run, son, ‘cause the moon is out and there ain’t no sun, tonight
But you can’t run from it
‘Cause it only comes from it
The end of your days
The end of your ways
Are all gone from it
Do away with the people that brought it
Those who ignore say they never got it
And every little lover wished they could have fought it
Truth be told to help save your brothers
Keep the tears from the eyes of their mothers
‘Cause it’s you against the others
The most feared things are the things we cannot see
The beast in the night hiding in the shadows on the street
Just waiting to grab you
Just waiting to grab you
Just waiting to hear your scream
Across the distant oceans
Are the monsters we fear most and
We can’t even check under the bed
For things we left unsaid
