A frightened child
Pulls his blanket over head
His mind runs wild
Amidst the silence
He can feel his stare
Intruder in the room
But no one's there
He could hardly move
Frozen like a stone
This is more than just a terrifying dream
The shadow's always watching
Embrace the shadow
She's half asleep
Bedroom window open wide
Can hardly breathe
As a figure creeps inside
She sees no face
An expressionless black hole
She's too afraid to run or speak or hide
Can he peer into her soul?
This is more than just a terrifying dream
The shadow's always watching
(That is not dead, which can eternal lie)
(And with strange aeons, even death may die)
Standing at seven feet tall, he's a sight to behold
Tales of the man in the hat surfaced centuries ago
Wearing a flowing black cloak and a watch on a chain
He stands in the corner, in darkness as you go insane
Fighting for breath as the incubus sits on your chest
The night demon waits as you dream, standing over your bed
Night, it will be forever changed
Will the shadow be revealed?
Can we ever know his name?
Endless night
Not a soul will hear you scream
And you never will escape
From the devil in your dreams
Endless night
Endless night
The vision that lives off your fear
Making you panic and sweat
He hides in the mist, but does he exist?
A stranger you'll never forget
He waits at the end of the hall
A presence you cannot explain
One minute he's there
Turn your back and he's gone
You'd better pray
He never calls out your name
(In the darkness every faint noise of the night seemed magnified)
Night, it will be forever changed
Will the shadow be revealed?
Can we ever know his name?
Endless night
Not a soul will hear you scream
And you never will escape
From the devil in your dreams
Endless night
Endless night
Endless night
Terrifying nightmares shared around the world
Stories of a faceless man
Who goes by many names
And traps us in his fearful gaze
A stranger in the mist
In the darkness of the night
Who leaves us paralyzed
As you fall asleep
Better keep a watchful eye
And maybe leave a light on tonight
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
