Daylight fades slowly
But dark night drops coldly
The fears of the woods start to show
Restless ground seethes
Frenzied wood symphony
The maddening sounds start to grow

By now the wise owl
Sits on the thrones of
He knows the dark side is best
Restless ground seethes
Frenzied wood symphony
Are stopped for the word of the owl

Whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo

Montage in his bright light
Brings wisdom in dark night
Don't fear the dark side of you
Don't fear the dark side of you

Don't fear the dark side of you
Don't fear the dark side of you
Don't fear the dark side of you
Don't fear the dark side of you
Don't fear the dark side of you
Don't fear the dark side of you
Don't fear the dark side of you
Don't fear the dark side of you
Don't fear the dark side of you
