Human eyes will never know

The horrors that I've seen

The nature of the souls

And the lines I've read between



'Cause it's not the way they're ugly

And it's not the way they creep

It's the friendly way they greet us

And they watch us as we sleep



If you look into their soulless eyes

You'll see them

And know they cause the horrors

Of the world

Wherever there is evil you will find them

Reflected in the eyes of boys and girls



They love to feed the suffering

And the pain caused deep inside

Laughing at the torment

Of a broken, tortured mind



The power of their presence

Is more chilling than their call

'Cause the reason that they're here

Is to make monsters of us all



Monsters walk the earth

In the form of those we've known

They've sent us off to school

And they've watched us as we've grown

Always lurking there behind us

Controlling us from birth

You may call them parents

I know monsters walk the earth
