I was captive of a slave boat
Rowing through the swamp
They threw me off
Into the lake of alligators
Eyes were glowing in the dark
And fear was in the air
As the beasts were closing in
Panic struck my mind
Swimming through the mud
Yes, I was swimming through the mud
And a thousand flamingos led my way
Riding to the feast
Where I was gonna meet my doom

Tonight a demon came into my head
Alright
And tried to choke me in my sleep
Tonight a demon came into my head
Oh ho
And tried to choke me in my sleep

I thought it was a feast of friends
But Lord, they proved me wrong
What seemed to be my rescue
Turned out to be a trap
Suddenly I was alone
Inside the demon's house

He climbed the walls with blood and murder going through his eyes
And I couldn't escape
And every move I made was wrong

Tonight a demon came into my head
Alright
And tried to choke me in my sleep
Tonight a demon came into my head
And tried to choke me in my sleep

In the shape of skins of Sirens
He seduced me with his song
Tried to choke me, and leave me in my sleep
Don't wake me up before the demon takes my soul

Fear and anger made my face
Turn white as snow
My blood turned cold as ice
My legs begun to shake
There was no way
I was gonna let the demon win
In the darkest hour
My woman brought me back to life
She heard my screams
She woke me from my dream
But I've still got the demon
Trapped inside my head

Tonight a demon came into my head
Alright
And tried to choke me in my dream
Tonight a demon came into my head
Oh
And tried to choke me in my dream

I've still got the demon
Trapped inside my head
She must be some siren
She is in my dream
