Every night

A grim shade passes by

A raven in disguise

A tortured soul

Midnight strikes

Fear shivers every spine

Don't let him near your child

Protect your own

Children laugh and mock him

Calling out his name

He shies the world

Never walks the streets by day

At night he reigns

They hear him play

A ballad to each life he strained

A child is out there

Crying out in tears

The catcher plays for thee

By their beds

He plays a lullaby

Confusing their young minds

With broken chords

With song and rhyme

He's known to mesmerize

The spark inside them dies

Turns dark and cold

A distant clock strikes midnight

The catcher's on the prowl

The mere sound of his cane

Scares man and beast

People drag their children

Horror is back in town

His lonely flute

Sounds morbid in the streets

The catcher plays for me
