Lyrics
Night Stalkers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Concealed in the night from the light of the Moon
Undetected between the heavens, the stars, and the seas
They seize the night when it's dark, like inside a tomb
Faintly, their flat black body armor gleams, light it up
From verdict, to deliverance, to retribution
To the very last beat of a dead man's pulse
You can hear the thunder roar, you can hear the engines roar
It causes the ground to quake, to buckle and convulse
Lights out in the desert
Battle-born, ready to fight
Your death waits in the dark
And it stalks the night
Night stalkers
The angels of death ride the waves of the air
You barely see the pilots on this zero-illum night
The avenger's ready, now, as the targets growing near
Tracer bullets, shot from the ground, behind enemy lines
Blacked out, we're under radio silence
Night vision on, green halos a' glow
It's killing time, another lesson in violence
Bodies pile up, and adrenaline starts to flow
Lights out in the desert
Battle-born, ready to fight
Your death waits in the dark
And it stalks the night
Night stalkers
Yo, when you hear four MH-47
And Black Hawk helicopters coming in low
In the dark of night
Loaded with Rangers
And Delta Force Special Ops shooters
Locked and loaded
Game's over, bitches
Got ya in my night vision
'Bout to let this 30 mm canon go
You never seen us coming
So there's no chance of running
Nothing you do can stop them
They're gonna get ya, wanted dead or alive
You can run, but you know they will find you
Death waits in the dark, and they own the night
Lights out in the desert
Battle-born, ready to fight
Your death waits in the dark
And it stalks the night
(The night)
Hydra rockets are all locked and loaded
Laser-guided Hellfire missiles are ready and armed
Itchy fingers on thirty mike-mike triggers
They enter the fight, with all of their targets acquired
Flying in formation like a black snake
Slithering closely over the map of the earth
Slicing the silvery-blueish night fog to ribbons
The time has come to return dirt back to the dirt, yeah
