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
