We hide in the shadows; we come with the night We poison your dreams as you turn from the light Sinners and saviours, a dark nemesis We will break you, my darling, with one goodnight kiss
We are the nightmares that you know so well We’ll take you to heaven and leave you in hell A moment of strangeness, of forbidden bliss We will break you, my darling, with one goodnight kiss
We are the visions that teach you to dread Echoes of childhood hide under the bed Ours are the voices that whisper and sigh Or scream on the wind as the storm passes by
No rest for the wicked, no sleep for the just Haunted by visions of madness and lust Incubus fantasies filled with desire Succubus angels enflame and inspire
We need you to cower; we need you to cry We’re there when you’re born; we’ll be there when you die Personal demons you bury so deep We hide in the memories that surface in sleep
And in the morning we all fade away Vanish like mist in the cold light of day But there’s no escape though you plead and implore We will be there when the night falls once more.
