Nightmare of Humankind
We are the ones who infest your mind
In the shadows we linger, watching all that you do
We haunt your dreams, make your children cry
Dispite what you think, we know everything about you
You fear us deep in your mind you wonder
You wonder if we're real
But the question you should be asking is
Will I be your next meal?
Who are we, you dare ask
What could we possibly be
Lurking behind the mask
In the darkness look and see
We are the ones you fear yet long to find
Welcome to the nightmare of human kind
You think you know but you have no idea
My knowledge could save your life
But you're too busy screaming at me
To heed my helpful advice
People assume I came to cause trouble
I really just wanted to help
But you didn't listen, you never do, do you?
And that's why the people fell
Because of this, I haunt your mind
I am the nightmare of human kind
Bueno's noches mi pequeno amigo!
Yo tengo your blood, my sweet wine
With a single bite I could finish you off
My teeth on your neck, you'd be mine
I linger in farms
Deep down in the south
My one desire
Your blood in my mouth
Because of this I haunt your mind
I am the nightmare of human kind
Daddy didn't know me
Mommy loathed my name
My life seems meaningless
Carried out in vain
The powers that lie within me
You'll never see them, you'll never know
I could kill you if I wanted
So think before you tresspass my home
Because of this, I haunt your mind
Welcome to the nightmare of human kind
Bigger is better some people say
I tend to think that they may be right
Is that why people fear me so much?
Are they really just scared of my height?
I love nature in all of it's beauty
My home in the trees and the grass
But be careful if you come visit me
One stomp I could kill your ass!
Because of this I haunt your mind
I am the nightmare of human kind
I know you all hate me
My life seems a hoax
Daddy's a scientist
Mommy is a goat
Don't come where I fester
I won't tell you where
If I don't kill you first
I'll give you a scare
Because of this I haunt your mind
I am the nightmare of human kind
Top o' teh mornin'!
The water is my home
Scotland's Loch Ness lake
Is where I love to roam
Come give me a visit
Take pictures if you like
I love the attention
It entertains my life
Because of this I haunt your mind
I am the nightmare of human kind
