I spent the night awake
Cause I know he's chasing me
I live days half asleep
Then the cycle just repeats

There I see him in my dreams
I see his eyes stare right at me
He's in the shadows, off the street
Then he comes so close, so suddenly

Around the corner, round the bend
That's when he came in
Dressed in black, ten arms he had
And the claws to match, oh

Is this a dream? Is this for real?
I dread those nights
The cold blade of steel
Is this my time, is this mine?

I dread those long and lost lonely nights

And in the darkness
I see his red eyes gleam
He's in the shadows stalking me
He could hear the sound of my heartbeat

But I'm gonna fight him this time
Turn and face my demons tonight
This is where I've drawn the line
We decide who lives and dies

Around the corner, round the bend
That's when he crept in
But this time I break the skin
This time I don't give in, yeah!

Around the corner, round the bend
That's when he crept in
On his throne he sits again
The battle must begin, yeah

Around the corner, round the bend
That's when he crept in
On his throne he sits again
The battle must begin, yeah
