A girl, walking homewards with quickening pace
And there, in the shadows, a smile
She screams when she sees the predator’s face
The night turns wicked and vile

A man parks his car in front of his home;
On his way in to his wife
A blink; his assailant reflects in the chrome
Then there’s the flash of a knife

During those hours when darkness rules
When limits are set and tried
When the world is full of monsters and ghouls
They tell us to stay inside

Be warned! Everybody, sound the alarm!
Because, unlike during the day
At night, everybody are out to do harm
And hurt you in every way

If you go outside they will find you, for sure
They’ll beat you, rape you and kill
They’ll kidnap you, torture you, threat you and more
Just for the fun and the thrill

Well I’m sick and tired of being afraid
I’m sick of staying inside
I feel like a part of me’s starting to fade
Another one broke down and died

It belongs to me, the night time is mine!
And that alone is my claim
I will not sit down and moan and whine
Not when I can win this game

Evil is out there, waiting for prey
But then again, so am I
Maybe I won’t save the world today
But I’m sure as hell gonna try

That’s why I’m here, looking scared and weak
You’re following; closing the gap
If you think that I am your victim, you freak
You’re wrong – I’m merely the trap

Now, you can either attack or depart
Time’s up; the choice is yours
And if you attack, I will take you apart
Without any guilt or remorse

They tell us to stay inside, out of fear
But I am going outside
I’m keeping my knife and my handgun near
Never again will I hide

They scare us with stories of evil and sin
But I will set us free
I have been warned, but I won’t let them win
They haven’t been warned about me
