What comes to me in my sleep
Who lies lurking in the darkness beneath
Slithering out from shadows unseen
Sent to prey upon me
Come and show me leather wings
And little cloven feet
Bring that scaly pointed tail
And lay it next to me
Pull the dreams from out my body
Poison all my seeds
Any price I pay it gladly
Just never to be
Solitary
Tell me what a demon daughter
Wants of earthen son
Spill my cup of holy water
Split apart my tongue
Drain whatever soul I carry
Let it atrophy
Any price I pay it gladly
Just never to be
Solitary
Fill my veins with rancid venom
Crush me between rock and stone
Rip my entrails out for vultures
Drive your nails into my bones
Draft up 10 infernal contracts
Sign away this empty life
Sell me off to beasts and harlots
Leave this rotten husk to die
Lash me to eternal torment
Drown me in the sea
Any price I pay it gladly
Just for once to be
Held within your sympathy
Smile for me with painted teeth
And put coals to my eyes
For I have found in devil's bargain
Fairest compromise
