As lightning strikes   And shadows burn   They come in the night   Now for darkness they yearn   The fear of the demon   Is coming to please   The thing got me begging   Got me down on my knees      I don't know   And you don't know   The way it's gotta be   You say that the times are gone   It won't be long   They take it all from me   I'll be waiting on down      It's foul and it's twisted   It's not from above   It claws and it slithers   It can't feel no love   It's crime is it's passion   It's hungry for more   It rips and it tears   Now it's reaching the core      I don't know   And you don't know   The way it's gotta be   You say that the times are gone   It won't be long   They take it all from me   I'll be waiting on down
