And just before midnight / You came into our room / A demon so frightening / Both ancient and new
Gonna leave the light on for you…
You’re a creature of sorrow / You’re the beast we made / You scratch at our sadness / ’Til we’re broken and frayed
Gonna leave the light on for you…
Eat the weak and devour the saved / From our bones, a new monster’s made / Smack the buildings, eat the place, destroy all day
Do you feast on nostalgia? / Take pleasure from pain / Look out ’cause the children / Will learn your real name
Gonna leave the light on for you…
Eat the weak and devour the saved / From our bones, a new monster’s made / Smack the buildings, eat the place, destroy all day…
