We hide in the shadows; we come with the night
We poison your dreams as you turn from the light
Sinners and saviours, a dark nemesis
We will break you, my darling, with one goodnight kiss

We are the nightmares that you know so well
We'll take you to heaven and leave you in hell
A moment of strangeness, of forbidden bliss
We will break you, my darling, with one goodnight kiss

We are the visions that teach you to dread
Echoes of childhood hide under the bed
Ours are the voices that whisper and sigh
Or scream on the wind as the storm passes by

No rest for the wicked, no sleep for the just
Haunted by visions of madness and lust
Incubus fantasies filled with desire
Succubus angels enflame and inspire

We need you to cower; we need you to cry
We're there when you're born; we'll be there when you die
Personal demons you bury so deep
We hide in the memories that surface in sleep

And in the morning we all fade away
Vanish like mist in the cold light of day
But there's no escape though you plead and implore
We will be there when the night falls once more.

Goodnight Kiss, Goodnight kiss, Goodnight kiss
