Daughter of the night —

Whose mind is an awful freight  —

Looking so innocent –

She’ll steal the love you cite –

And then take flight –

She’s the daughter of the night.

,

Look into her crystal ball –

You better stand tall –

Terrifying sights you won’t want to see –

But it is not up to me –

For she’s the daughter of the night.

.

Brokenhearted lovers beware –

For a price, her voice, a heart’s repair –

Stay away from her icy cell –

Take my advice –

She’s going to make you yell –

Straight out of hell –

Curse the daughter of the night.

.

Into your life she’ll creep –

And from her lips you cannot keep –

Her eyes will command ablaze –

Your life will be a purple maze –

Death around her feet –

Just lays and lays –

For she’s the daughter of the night.

.

So, listen to me while you can –

You cannot fight her –

You’re an ordinary man –

Pass by her den, and don’t look in –

To stop for love’s sake would really be a sin –

Fight the daughter of the night.
