Goodnight sweet heart

I am winter's breath nipping at your heal

Evil whisper calling, my dear

Forbidden fruit, tempting

Tendrils of demons, stretching

Dark desires, stalking in the night

Ghosts, floating in the shadows

I am the sandman's touch

bristling the hairs on your neck

A prince, for a pauper

A kiss, for a goodnight

A song before bed

Don’t be afraid, my child

I am just a nightmare

Entering your dreams

A monster dancing in your sleep

A terror haunting you in the dark

Wake up, child

Before you die of fright

Open your eyes,

Who’s there?

A creature, a beast

Shhhhh, quiet now

keep your scream

In the hollow of your throat

I am only a demon

Crawling in the night

Coming

To take flesh from bone

Savor the fear, my darling

It tastes sweet

When I take you away
