  • There is a demon among us whose soul belongs in hell
    Sent here to redeem us, she knows it all to well
    He comes and goes, he comes and goes
    she knows it all too well
    But when all is said and done
    The sun goes down

    She tries her best to leave him, but she is still captured by his spell
    She knows now she must deceive him, he knows it all to well
    She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well
    But when all is said and done
    The sun goes down

    She comes and goes, she comes and goes,
    he knows it all too well
    But when all is said and done
    The sun goes down

    There is a demon within us
    The sun goes down
    She tries her best to deceive him

  • AnonymousI figured this song was telling a fantasy horror story, but I've also noticed a similarity between the lyrics and the story of Bram Stoker's famous novel "Dracula".
