From the recording SONUS NOCTURNUM
Midnight Howl is a theatrical horror anthem that drags you straight into the heart of the graveyard at witching hour. Blending eerie whispers, thunderous drums, and gothic atmosphere, the track unfolds like a supernatural ritual beneath a blood-red moon.
Driven by haunting imagery of wolves, chains, ravens, and shadowed figures, Midnight Howl captures the moment when fear turns into surrender — when the darkness stops chasing you and becomes part of you. The chant-like bridge and dramatic narration give it a classic horror-cinema edge, evoking the spirit of vintage Halloween tales with modern intensity.
It’s not just a song — it’s an invocation.
A midnight vow.
A call you cannot ignore.
When the clock strikes twelve, the hunt begins.
Lyrics
Midnight Howl
Intro
Darkness falls, across the stone…
Shadows rise, and you’re not alone…
The night is breathing, cold and deep…
Awaken now, from the graveyard’s sleep…
Verse 1
Cemetery candles flicker red,
Whispers crawling through the dead.
Steps behind you, chains that scrape,
The night won’t let you… there’s no escape.
Pre-Chorus
Claws in the silence, eyes in the mist,
A kiss of the dark you cannot resist.
The clock strikes twelve, the hunt begins,
A shadow’s touch beneath your skin.
Chorus
This is the midnight howl—
A scream in the dark, a blood-red vow.
Run if you dare, the night will find,
The beast in your heart, the fear in your mind.
Verse 2
Ravens circle, thunder cracks,
Moonlight paints the world in black.
Dancing figures in masquerade,
Lost in the curse that night has made.
Bridge
Closer… closer… feel the breath…
Dancing on the edge of death…
Chains that rattle, wolves that cry,
Once you’re inside—you can’t deny.
Final Chorus
This is the midnight howl—
Your soul’s on fire, the night’s your shroud.
No turning back, no holy ground,
The dark has claimed you… hear the sound.
Outro
And as the shadows claim the sky,
The night reveals what cannot die.
Forever bound by the graveyard’s call,
The midnight howl consumes us all…
