(Verse 1)
Out past the bridge where the river glows green
Somethin' in the sky that shouldn't be seen
Pink eyes burnin' through the radioactive haze
Locals say he's been there since the end of days
He don't speak, he just stares right through
Brings the rads with him, gives 'em to you
But the ones who survive what he leaves behind
Come back stronger, changed, refined
(Pre-Chorus)
They say he's a warning
They say he's a sign
Disaster's coming
But is he yours or mine?
(Chorus)
Mothman, Mothman, wise and strange
Spreadin' radiation across the range
What he touches starts to mill away
But what survives gets stronger every day
Eyes in the fog
Wings in the night
Mothman brings the rads
But he just might bring the light
(Verse 2)
Every time he lands, every time he swings
Counters start tickin' on everything
Your cards hit the grave, but listen close
The ones still standin' get the highest dose
Three and three but he plays both sides
Everyone gets sick when the Mothman rides
But the milled and the marked, they start to grow
Wise Mothman knows somethin' we don't know
(Pre-Chorus)
They say he's a warning
They say he's a sign
Disaster's coming
But is he yours or mine?
(Chorus)
Mothman, Mothman, wise and strange
Spreadin' radiation across the range
What he touches starts to mill away
But what survives gets stronger every day
Eyes in the fog
Wings in the night
Mothman brings the rads
But he just might bring the light
(Bridge)
(spoken, eerie)
Point Pleasant knew... before the bridge fell...
He tried to warn them...
Or did he come to watch?
(sung, building)
Insect mutant, prophet, freak
Glowing eyes for those who seek
The wasteland made him, rads and all
He's the omen before the fall
(Final Chorus)
Mothman, Mothman, none can say
If he's the doom or lights the way
Mill the deck, let bodies drop
The ones who live won't ever stop
Eyes in the fog
Wings in the night
The Wise Mothman watches
From his radioactive height
