DEMON OF THE NIGHT
Lyrics by Ian Holford
Music composed by Den Tietze & Alison Tietze
Intro
I'll enter your sleep, For I am the demon of the night. I'll rain on your dreams, but I will be gone by first light.
Awaken
Awaken from your nightmares
Awaken
Oh Yeah
Verse 1
Sleepless nights, I pray for morning
My world stands still, until a new day's dawning
A timeless path that I'm tired of walking
As the night comes drawing in
I fear the dark, and what hides in shadows
As I close my eyes, I know the nightmare follows
Laying wide awake, in deafening silence
As sleep comes over me
Pre-chorus
And as the shadows fall, I hear him calling
I dare to close my eyes, I feel myself falling, oh
Chorus (as for Intro)
I am the demon of the night, screaming
But I'll be gone before first light, scream free me
Verse 2
In the dead of night, I face my fear
Upon the guiding light, I feel him near
And my silent screams, that no one hears
As my world comes closing in
I see his face, as he stands before me
The screams and laughs, with eyes so taunting
And the smell of fear, I scream for morning
As the sun comes up again
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Interlude
You entered into my dreams, I prayed for the morning
My world stood still, I dreamed of the dawning
Solo
Bridge
I will enter your sleep, for I am the demon of the night
I'll rain on your dreams, mwa, ha ha ha etc
Hear me, hear me scream nooh
You dare to close your eyes and I'll catch you when you're falling
Mwa, ha ha ha etc
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Fill
Shadows Fall
Chorus
Fill
Ending
I've entered your sleep
I've stolen your dreams
I'm raining on your parade
I'll be back, I'll be back
Ha ha ha ha ha
Oh
Ha
Scream
