[Verse 1: OLIVER]
At the edge of the world
In the dead of the night
A lighthouse looms over the ocean
And a body lies curled
Such a sinister sight
Guts and gore on the shore
Nova Scotian
Was that a bloodcurdling cry
Or the innocent sigh of a child?
Well it rattles your soul
As the dark takes control
It's enough to drive you wild
When you're a
[OLIVER & CAST]
Creature of the night
[OLIVER]
All alone in the black
Feel your sanity crack
[OLIVER & CAST]
A creature of the night
Do your demons reside
In the side that you hide
From the light
[OLIVER]
You crеature of the night
[Verse 2: OLIVER]
In this eerie old lighthousе
Thrashed by the tide
Live triplets whose mother suspiciously died
And suspects uncanny
A constable, a nanny
Do they all have secrets to hide?
[Verse 3: OLIVER]
As detective my objective is follow the clues
Someone's tale is the truth
But I don't yet know whose
Was the mother all there mentally?
Died accidentally?
Or is there a killer I have to accuse?
[OLIVER & CAST]
In the dark of the storm
This light helps you steer
[OLIVER]
But surrounded by shadows (Surrounded by shadows)
What monsters might appear? (Monsters might appear)
[OLIVER & CAST]
When you're a creature of the night
[OLIVER]
In the bleak midnight rain
Could you go so insane!
[OLIVER & CAST]
A creature of the night
In the bone-chilling cold
As the madness takes hold
See the blood (Drip, drip, drip)
While your grip starts to slip
Do your demons reside
In the side that you hide
From the light
Are you a creature of the night (Is it you? Is it you?)
A creature of the night (Is it you? Is it true?)
A creature of the night
At the edge of the world
A body lies curled
A creature of the night
