Lyrics:
With his red eyes aglow and his white wings spread awide You are helpless below, your looking up to the night Is he Chief Cornstalk's ghost? Or an Alien? On the shores of the Ohio here in West Virginia In Point Pleasant we live beneath the shadow, our days are numbered one and all There's no rest here between the mountains and metal, we know he's supernatural Watch out! The Mothman will steal you away! Watch out! Or maybe he'll save the day, Yeah Watch out! Is he friend or foe?! Who knows Watch out! We just don't know Don't go to lover's lane, don't ignore the buzz on the television Look for that flying man, as he sends premonitions 'Cause he lived near the Kanawha, or in the plant for munitions Did he destroy The Silver Bridge or save the citizens? In Point Pleasant we live beneath the shadow, our days are numbered one and all There's no rest here between the mountains and metal, we know he's supernatural Watch out! The Mothman will steal you away! Watch out! Or maybe he'll save the day, Yeah Watch out! Is he friend or foe?! Who knows Watch out! We just don't know

Lyrics:
There I was, walking along the park It was a chilling November night when I perceived a sudden movement in the Dark Then at first, all I saw were these two Sinister red eyes It was huge - Not Animal - Not Human - Something else I kept looking at it, petrified Evil Dark shape Spreads its black Wings to me! In the Night! Omen of misfortune In the Night! Something dreadful will come to Pass In the Night! An Entity in Black shape In the Night! Evil Creature of future sight It put a vision inside my mind. It was a nightmare for all mankind Death and disease will be the rule for a hundred years Then I saw a glimpse of hope There's no pain that we feel in vain From the border of extinction mankind will prevail. I kept looking at it, petrified Evil Dark shape Spreads its black Wings to me! In the Night! Omen of misfortune In the Night! Something dreadful will come to Pass In the Night! An Entity in Black shape In the Night! Evil Creature of future sight
Mothman, What You Gonna' Do Now?
Within that text the artist writes: "I've been fortunate to meet some of the people from [John Keel's Mothman Prophecies] book and some have passed on now. I dedicate this song and video to the wonderful people of the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia".
Lyrics:
If you go to Point Pleasant You better just beware Down by the Igloos You can hear them everywhere They're running into the night But you can't see a thing You almost die of fright When you hear the sound of their wings People tell me some stories About lights in the sky An MIB knocks on your door and tells you, you might die What you gonna' do now? Indrid Colds an alien Keel go get your flashlight and chase down the Mothman The rumors say they have red eyes They reflect with the light Make your hair stand on end In the chill of the night They drive around in their black cars It's not in your mind They come from another dimension They're not even from our time What you gonna' do now? Indrid Colds an alien Keel go get your flashlight and chase down the Mothman Bandit disappeared by the barn Indrid played his games Mary wrote her stories and Linda almost went insane Forty six people were lost on the bridge that night The MIBs and the UFOs and the Mothman vanished from sight What you gonna' do now? Indrid Colds an alien Keel go get your flashlight and chase down the Mothman What you gonna' do now? Indrid Colds an alien Keel go get your flashlight and chase down the Mothman

Lyrics:
On a cold December night in 1967 The Silver Bridge collapsed and fell into the Ohio River Silver Bridge they say, seemed to move and sway and on that night the traffic light wasn't working Silver Bridge has fallen down Christmas presents floating all around Glowing lights from down below where the bridge once did cross Forty six people now are lost Forty six People from Point Pleasant and others from around Ran from the stores down to the bridge to see what made that sound From the darkness of sixth street and to the other side They witnessed such a tragedy, sent chills right down their spine Point Pleasant and her sister towns endured a tragic loss but fifty years since that day has come at such a cost They say that times an eternity and time can heal all wounds Forty six who have gone before were taken much too soon On a cold December night in 1967 The Silver Bridge collapsed and fell into the Ohio River The old suspension bridge, no longer in her prime Did her job nearly forty years, had just run out of time Silver Bridge has fallen down Christmas presents floating all around Glowing lights from down below where the bridge once did cross Forty six people now are lost Forty six
Mothman Blues
Mothman Blues is a blues song released in 2019 by Dan Cunningham.
I saw the Mothman and I know you saw him too I saw the Mothman and I know you saw him too No one will believe us, what are we gonna do? Now way out in the quarry, I saw a fearsome beast Way out in the quarry, I saw a fearsome beast He gave me the evil eye then he flew off, flew off to east They say that it's an omen of evil things to come Yes they saw that it's an omen of evil things to come I know he's bringing bad news and I don't know where it's from Now bobby's had some hard luck He could really use the dough My buddy bobby's had some hard luck He could really use the dough He wants to catch that old Mothman and sell tickets for the show Now they say it aint no monster, it's just a big old crane They say it aint no monster, it's just a big old crane Don't pay them no attention, they got big bird on the brain I saw the Mothman, I saw the Mothman I saw the Mothman and I know you saw him too
