Verse 1
Long before the roads were paved,
Old folks gathered, bowed and prayed.
Every child was taught one rule,
Never wander after dusk.
Every window, every door,
Locked before the raven's call.
Candles lined the wooden floor,
No one dared to ask what for.
In the woods beyond the hill,
Time itself was standing still.
No one crossed the ancient line...
Not beneath that crimson shine.
Pre-Chorus
Hear the wind... it knows the tune.
Every tale begins too soon.
When the sky turns crimson red...
Remember every word they said.
Chorus
Don't look up when the Blood Moon calls.
Hear the whispers through the walls.
Lock the doors and hide the light.
Nothing leaves this town tonight.
Don't say names the dead once knew...
They're still listening for you.
Don't look up when the Blood Moon calls...
Or it never lets you go.
Verse 2
Every mirror faced the ground,
So no watching eyes were found.
Every clock refused to chime,
Frozen in forgotten time.
Footsteps echoed down the lane,
Never walking in the rain.
No one saw a single soul...
Still the footsteps reached the door.
Ravens circled, black as coal,
Flying where no bells would toll.
Every feather seemed to warn...
Morning wasn't being born.
Pre-Chorus
Listen close... don't trust the breeze.
Someone's calling through the trees.
If the voice sounds just like home...
Never answer. Never go.
Chorus
Don't look up when the Blood Moon calls.
Hear the whispers through the walls.
Lock the doors and hide the light.
Nothing leaves this town tonight.
Don't say names the dead once knew...
They're still listening for you.
Don't look up when the Blood Moon calls...
Or it never lets you go.
Bridge
The oldest grave has no one's name.
The oldest flame burns just the same.
Every century, one night returns...
Every lesson must be learned.
Not a beast... not a ghost...
Not a story told the most.
Only something without a face...
Waiting for one empty place.
The crimson sky begins to fade...
But some debts are never paid.
Final Chorus
Don't look up whe
