Introduction:
Demons of the night
Sent to give me a fright
I wish I could give you flight
And make my life finally right
1/ The demons stalk my sleep tonight
I move my head and see the sight
They all line up, one by one
To make me the target of their fun
2/ Demon one is that of lust
For my need, nay desire to trust
He spews lies that really hurt
And from learning trust divert
3/ Demon two is that of greed
Wanting for myself as need
He shouts: you are no value!
And I take his word as true
4/ Demon three is the teller of lies
Which is most of my life, I realise
He makes me deny the complete truth
I need to become an honesty sleuth
5/ Demon four is rather stealthy
Helping me to stay unhealthy
Feeding comfort rather than hunger
He is quite the habit warmonger
6/ Demon five is just a trickster
Forcing you to drink an elixir
That makes you think it is alright
Instead of being equal to the blight
7/ Demon six is a nasty tease
Spreading evil as a disease
He infects your every mood
Leaving you of hope, denude
8/ There are so many, many more
All of them lean against the bedroom wall
Watching me endlessly toss and turn
Waiting for their chance to make me burn
