[Verse 1]
Four shadows heading for the dark
Four shadows heading for the past
Four shadows heading for the graves in the wooded maze
Four shadows looking for the place without a trace

[Refrain]
Midnight and they're here, midnight

[Verse 2]
The old burial ground is part of the estate
Hidden by the heavy trees where Jean le Noir, he sleeps

[Pre-Chorus]
The shadows move
They're here to feed the dead
The shadows move

[Chorus]
'Cause there is life after death
Be patient and you will see
There is life after death
Be patient and you will see
Oh, it must never end, never end, no

[Guitar Solo: Herb Simonsen]
[Refrain]
Midnight and they're here, midnight

[Bridge]
Doctor le Croix, he's a voodoo sorcerer
Madame Sarita, she's got the snake in her
And Lula Chevalier, she's the girl that no one ever sees
Salem the Servant, he belongs to the estate

[Pre-Chorus]
The shadows move
They're here to feed the dead
The shadows move

[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]

[Verse 3]
The Lafayettes are unaware, their butler Salem, he is here
Voodoo has been his life, voodoo cuts deep like a knife

[Pre-Chorus]
The shadows move
They're here to feed the dead
The shadows move

[Chorus]
'Cause there is life after death
Be patient and you will see
There is life after death
Be patient and you will see
Oh, it must never end, never end, no
[Refrain]
Midnight and they're here, midnight

[Outro]
Midnight, midnight, life after death
Life after death, there is life
Life after death, there is life
