Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Tonight's story is somewhat unique)
(And calls for a different kind of introduction)
(A monster arrived in the village)
(A major ingredient of any recipe for fear is the unknown)
(And this person or thing is soon to be met)
(He knows every thought, he can feel every emotion)
(Oh, yes, I did forget something, didn't I?)
(I forgot to introduce you to the monster)
[Verse 2]
You're fearing me
'Cause you know I'm a beast
Watching you when you sleep
When you're in bed I'm underneath
You're trapped in halls
And my face is the walls
I'm the floor when you fall
[Verse 3]
And when you scream it's 'cause of me
I'm the living dead
The dark thoughts in your head
I heard just what you said
That's why you've got to be threatened by me
[Verse 4]
You should be watching me
You should feel threatened
While you sleep, while you breathe
You should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks
She speaks to me
Threatened
Half of me you'll never be
So you should feel threatened by me
[Verse 5]
You think you're by yourself
But it's my touch you felt
I'm not a ghost from hell
But I've got a spell on you
You're worst nightmare
[Verse 6]
It's me, I'm everywhere
In one blink I'll disappear
And then I'll come back to haunt you
I'm telling you
When you lie under a tomb
I'm the one watching you
That's why you got to be
Threatened by me
[Verse 7]
You should be watching me
You should feel threatened
While you sleep, while you creep
You should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks
She speaks to me
Threatened
Half of me you'll never be
So you should be threatened by me
[Verse 8]
(An unknown monster is about to embark)
(From a far corner out of the dark)
(A nightmare, that's the case)
(Never, Neverland, that's the place)
(This particular monster can read minds)
(Be in two places at the same time)
(This is judgment night, execution, slaughter)
(The devil, ghosts this monster is torture)
(You can be sure of one thing, that's fate)
(Human presence that you feel is strange)
(Monster, that you can see disappear)
(A monster, the worst thing to fear)
[Verse 9]
You should be watching me
You should feel threatened
While you sleep, while you creep
You should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks
She speaks to me
Threatened
Half of me you'll never be
So you should be
Threatened
[Verse 10]
You should be threatened
While you sleep, threatened
Every time, threatened
Half of me
So you should feel threatened by me
[Verse 11]
You should be watching me
You should feel threatened
While you sleep, while you creep
You should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks
She speaks to me
Threatened
Half of me you'll never be
So you should be threatened
[Verse 12]
You should be watching me
You should feel threatened
While you sleep, while you creep
You should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks
She speaks to me
Threatened
Half of me you'll never be
So you should be threatened by me
(What you have just witnessed could be the end)
(Of a particularly terrifying nightmare)
(It isn't, it's the beginning)
