Mother always told you

that your fears were unjustified.

Then she tucked you into safety,

and turned out all the lights.

Father always told you

"to be tough, and never cry".

Then he shut door in silence,

locking you into the night.

Each sound: another terror.

This nightmare is just for you!

Close your eyes and go to sleep now.

Don't be afraid of the dark!

A thousand eyes in your windows

are watching you while you sleep.

It takes your mind in one direction;

to the evil in your dream!

You  try to run, but you can't hide,

fear is what they need from you.

They only exist in your mind.

All their power comes from you.

Each second takes you further,

on your journey into Hell!

Close your eyes and go to sleep now.

Don't be afraid of the dark!

You don't need to worry

about all the things that you see.

It's only your imagination;

it's nothing more than a dream.

You know that when you wake up,

everything will be alright.

There is nothing that can hurt you

until the sun goes down tonight!

There's "something" in the shadows,

and it's waiting just for you!

Close your eyes and go to sleep now.

Don't be afraid of the dark!
