Red Eyes Over Point Pleasant

[Intro – female whisper]
Point Pleasant...
Don’t look up...

[Verse 1]
November cold on an empty road
Headlights cutting where the black trees grow
Something stood where the shadows bent
Too tall for a man, too still to relent

Two red fires broke the dark
Black wings opened without a sound
It followed them toward the river
Then vanished above the town

[Pre-Chorus]
Lock every window
Turn every light
Something is circling
Above us tonight

[Chorus]
RED EYES OVER POINT PLEASANT
BURNING THROUGH THE WEST VIRGINIA NIGHT
RED EYES OVER POINT PLEASANT
WATCHING FROM THE EDGE OF SIGHT

Is he hunting?
Is he warning?
Does anybody know?

There are red eyes over us
Everywhere we go

[Verse 2]
Phones rang with nobody there
Dogs kept barking at empty air
They called him devil, they called him death
But what if they misunderstood the message?

Above the river, above the town
Black wings turning without a sound
Maybe he never came to kill
Maybe he came to warn us

[Chorus]
RED EYES OVER POINT PLEASANT
BURNING THROUGH THE WEST VIRGINIA NIGHT
RED EYES OVER POINT PLEASANT
WATCHING FROM THE EDGE OF SIGHT

Is he hunting?
Is he warning?
Does anybody know?

There are red eyes over us
Everywhere we go

[Bridge – stripped down]
December fifteenth...

Cold steel groaned beneath the weight
Christmas lights on blackened waves
Forty-six never made it home

Was he the shadow that brought the ending...
Or the warning no one believed?

[Break]
Was he the curse...

Or was he warning us?

[Final Chorus]
RED EYES OVER POINT PLEASANT
BURNING THROUGH THE DARKEST NIGHT
RED EYES OVER POINT PLEASANT
WATCHING AS THE STEEL GAVE WAY

Was he hunting?
Was he warning?
We may never know

There are red eyes over us
Where the cold Ohio flows

[Outro – female whisper]
He never left...
