He would stare with black eyes
people fled when he smiled wide
his spoken words could hypnotise
they heard his lips were poisonous

that was his flaw
the king of nightmares
feel the fear crawl
he was so frightening

he turned the world black and white
the kids would scream so loud
they knew he was their biggest fright
he was haunting them day as night

nobody knew
that he didn't want this
nobody cared
soon so forgotten

that was his flaw
the king of nightmares
feel the fear crawl
he was so frightening

nobody saw
what he really wanted
feel the fear crawl
when he fell from heaven

he holds the devils hand
not remembering
he is the devils spring
afraid of failing
