The Town That Dreaded Sundown

(Did you ever think, as the hearse rolls by

That someday you are going to die?)

There's a disturbance in this one horse town that's shaken every soul

All the dogs run loose and every man is on patrol

There is a killer among us all

A phantom that has come to see your fall

While the deacons keep us calm

With a sermon and a worship song

There's an evil that walks these moral grounds

In the Town that dreaded sundown

Careful where you park and just avoid those lonely roads

A savage strike may come again but now let's just lay low

There is a killer among us all

A phantom that has come to see your fall

Any day the hunt will end

Until then we can't let down our defense

There's an evil that walks these moral grounds

In the Town that dreaded sundown

Hot on the heels of death to take his final breath

Release all the blood hounds but he is never found

The legend does live on but those days are far long gone

The memory is always near

A subconscious repressed fear

There's an evil that walks these moral grounds

In the Town that dreaded sundown
