Pale Crawler in the Night (Country Rock Version)

In the woods a weekend call three friends gather 'round Peter Michael David laughter and music sound A barbecue by the cabin beer and tales in the air But as the night falls deeper something else is there Pale Crawler in the night claws reaching through the dark Long limbs large black eyes leaving a dreadful mark Aggression in its stance silent but so near Three friends face their terror in the grip of fear The creature leaps the rail lands with a haunting grace White and thin it stands tall a nightmare they must face Peter grabs a bottle Michael takes a stand David tries to fend it off with a trembling hand Pale Crawler in the night claws reaching through the dark Long limbs large black eyes leaving a dreadful mark Aggression in its stance silent but so near Three friends face their terror in the grip of fear A flash of claws a scream so loud blood spills on the ground Peter's down he's bleeding out no help to be found Michael falls his eyes go dark David breathes his last The Pale Crawler stands tall their fate is now cast Pale Crawler in the night claws reaching through the dark Long limbs large black eyes leaving a dreadful mark Aggression in its stance silent but so near Three friends face their terror in the grip of fear In the woods a silence falls three lives taken away The Pale Crawler fades to dark waiting for its prey In the cabin by the forest memories left to haunt The night that terror visited in shadows it still flaunts
