In the heart of Northern Michigan where the moonlight barely gleams
Lies a secret place of terror born from twisted dreams
Far from towns and people where shadows come alive
A camper walks alone tonight unaware he won't survive
On Halloween the monster wakes from deep within the wood
It prowls the night in search of prey where ancient trees have stood
Beware the woods of Northern Michigan where darkness meets the light
For on this full moon Halloween the monster claims the night
He hiked along the hidden trails beneath the autumn skies
Unseen eyes watched every step as the forest came alive
Whispers in the wind did warn of dangers up ahead
But heedless of the ancient curse he walked where angels dread
On Halloween the monster wakes from deep within the wood
It prowls the night in search of prey where ancient trees have stood
Beware the woods of Northern Michigan where darkness meets the light
For on this full moon Halloween the monster claims the night
The camper heard a rustling a growl that chilled his soul
He turned to see the glowing eyes of something from the old
It lunged from shadows black as pitch with claws as sharp as sin
And in that moment he was lost the darkness drawing in
His cries were swallowed by the night as the creature dragged him deep
Into the heart of cursed woods where no one dares to sleep
His loved ones searched but never found the one they held so dear
For on that fateful Halloween he'd vanished in the air
On Halloween the monster wakes from deep within the wood
It prowls the night in search of prey where ancient trees have stood
Beware the woods of Northern Michigan where darkness meets the light
For on this full moon Halloween the monster claims the night
So if you hike on Halloween and wander far from home
Remember tales of those before who never more did roam
Stay clear of haunted forests where the ancient terror lies
Or you might be the next one lost beneath the moonlit skies
Beware the woods of Northern Michigan
