Butcher - Welcome to the Night

Woe to man.
For you have given "The Beast" power to rule over thee,
and you do not yet see the fools you have become.
For in this time, have I seen "The Beast" arise
and go forth, as a Destroyer!
(Book of Power; chapter III, verse IIX.
Interpreted, and paraphrased by M. Bishop)

My heart is hard like an iron fist
tightening its' grip all around you!
I'll slip into your mind like a hatpin,
and into your heart as a broadsword;
I want to make sure you feel it!

I'll poison your mind, eat you alive.
I'll satisfy you when, and if, I decide!
I'll fulfil your every dream,
and I'll be the one to pull your strings.
Welcome to the night!

The light is gone.
I've come again, you know who I am;
we've met before!
I'll slide into your life with a whisper,
and slice into your soul like a razor blade!

I'll come to you with "promises of light",
And then feed you to the Darkness; you haven't had enough!
Your strength is your weakness and you show it.
The tiger is just a lamb; you know that I know it!
So, welcome to the night.

I can see YOU, but you really can't see me.
You can share my little secret, but you can't have it all.
I'll fill you with desire; you'll be under my spell!
And in your search for Heaven, you've found a living Hell!
So, welcome to the night!

I know your pain and I hold the key to all your dreams;
I'm the Nightmare!
I'll slip into your bed discreetly,
and touch your flesh so sweetly,
you won't suspect a thing;
until I poison your mind, eat you alive.
I'll satisfy you when, and if, I decide!
I'll fulfil your every dream,
and I'm the one that's pulling your strings!
Welcome to the night!

You'll believe my lies;
I see it in your eyes.
You won't know the truth until you're mine!
