Murder At Midnight

A murder in the darkThe convent in the nightThe constable is on the wayThe suspect out of sightHe trampled down the garden laneThe mystery has begunHe signed it by the pentagramAnd now is on the run

I gotta tell you a story, and the story we startright at the scene of the crimeAnother murder and tonight he's left in timeAnother victim has gone, another inhuman slaughteron the lane of a parkAnd still the main inspector's tumbling in the dark

At night I saw himCan you recall him?And not a soul has called

Murder at midnightThe enemy on the wayMurder at midnightWill he return with the day?Murder at midnightThe Devil's seed on the wayMurder at midnightAnd then we tell you to prayMidnight!Midnight!

He must have done it alone, he is a master of hidingand he left not a traceAnd by the moonlight saw the goat shape of his faceHe got an interrogation and they tried hard to break himbut it couldn't be provedThe only trace they couldn't find was cloven hooved

At night I saw himThe phantom crawlingAnd not a soul has called

Murder at midnightThe enemy on the wayMurder at midnightWill he return with the day?Murder at midnightThe Devil's seed on the wayMurder at midnightAnd then we tell you to pray
