He lays there in wait for the darkness to come

the lair he stays for the cast away sun

there's promises gearing towards children's dreams

of nightmares he brings will  tear you at the seams

---

He plays simple games with the shadows of ours

still hiding from moonlights and passing by stars

He strengthens the fear of the children at play

The Nightmare King knows it's the darkness to stay

---

Oooohhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhhhh x2

---

Now as you lay down do check under your bed

it's easy for him to get into your head

just make sure say your wishes as you sleep

for the boogeyman comes and he won't make a peep
