Now let me tell you a bedtime story where the people you love kill you in
Your sleep,
The places you think you know seem to be the places you knew the day
Before.
Now lay your mind to rest and don’t think of the creatures waiting for
The darkness to rise,
To hunt you ‘til you run out of breath and watch everything blacken right
Before your eyes.
Goodnight my dear,
I’ll be right here by your side,
Dreaming of your nightmare
Goodnight my dear,
Now don’t you fear the night,
‘cause you can’t see what’s here
Don’t get scared as I turn out the light
And let the beasts run around tonight
Don’t be afraid as I join the fun,
Just to let you know it’s all just begun
Now let me tell you a bedtime story where the world you know has been
Turned around,
The shadows call your name and you run and you run ‘til you’re back at
The place where you started.
Now sit back and relax while they break and twist your mind ‘til
There’s nothing left.
The things you see may seem to be a dream, and the things that are here
Seem to be your worst nightmare.
Goodnight my dear,
I’ll be right here by your side,
Dreaming of your nightmare
Goodnight my dear,
Now don’t you fear the night,
‘cause you can’t see what’s here
Goodnight my dear,
I’ll be right here by your side
Goodnight my dear,
Now don’t you fear the night
And he will rape you in your mind
And he will take you from behind
And he will hunt you throughout your dreams
And he will kill you in your sleep
Here’s a bedtime story,
Hope you’ll make it through the night
I’ll wake you in the morning
If you’re alive
Sleep tight.
