Lyrics:

What do you think I am? Do you think I'm dreaming?

Don't you know I know what it is you're scheming?

Who did you think gave you the right

Hidden by the dead of night

To take the world and turn it upside down

When it should be round?

It seems I made it just in time

To use my reason and my rhyme

To save us from the evils of your mind

I will cast the spell

Be sure I cast it well

I will light a fire

Kindled with desire.

I'll fill you with fear so you'll know I'm here

And I won't be treated like a fool

It's no good you pretending there'll be no happy ending

I'm alive and darkness is my tool

But when the night is over

And daytime steals your cover

The goodness of the morning sun

Will warm away what you have done

And leave you cold

I have no need for moonlight

You're wrong to trust in sunlight

For I exist not just in storms

But in life itself, in so many forms

To leave you cold

I will leave you now but you won't defeat me

You had best beware when you come to meet me

Love and truth will follow me

An army of reality

Brought from every corner of the world

You will never break the spell

I’ll summon all the fires of hell

And this is my advice for what it's worth

Let us not begin

This fight we cannot win

Be sure you're watching me

'Cause all through your life

Every day and every night

You should know that

I'll be watching you
