VERSE
Down by the river past midnight
Something moving in the fog
wings like shadows in the treeline taller than the water tower
old folks whisper at the diner
say it came from out the dark
Saw two burning crimson lanterns floating in the forest barn.
CHORUS
Red eyes in the hollow sky.
Something beating through the night on enormous wings
Red eyes in the hollow sky calling from the dark
Mothman rise Run before he starts
VERSE
Route 62 when the thing stepped in the road
Ten feet tall with folded wings and a silenced coldest stone
It spread wide against the moonlight like a nightmare taking shape
Then it lifted without warning and vanished in the haze
CHORUS
Red eyes in the hollow sky
Circling above the bridges
Red eyes in the hollow sky
Every time he spreads those wings
Something terrible begins
BRIDGE
They say he comes before the fall
Before the steel and concrete crawl
Before the screaming and the flame
Before the river swallows names
You can feel him in the air
Like thunder before despair
red eyes in the hollow sky
standing on the broken bridge waiting in the light
red eyes in the hollow sky
If the Mothman spreads his wings
OUTRO
And if you see those crimson eyes
How would you rate this song?
