Twisted little lullaby
Do you hear the children cry?
Song lyrics laced with fear
A woeful cry a frozen tear

Under your bed is where he sleeps
Watching and listening while you weep
Waiting for the time to come
When the nightmares start and you begin to run

Keep your eyes closed because he can see
Into your eyes and in your dreams
Toying and playing, taunting you too come near
He can smell the stench of your growing fear

One bite is all it will take for him to claim your soul
One bite for him to devour you whole
One wrong move you make and he'll take your breath
One wrong move brings your death
