Wow! That sounds tremendously evil. And monstrous. Your voice reminds me of Tom Waits' darkest songs. Makes me shiver!

Someone already mentioned Waits...  Going to get that a bit. If anyone hearing this hasn't heard Waits, do so after you listen to Rich here.

Excellent lyrics! And a sound and feel to match them perfectly. Super cool sound effects to accent it throughout as well, I would have stopped short of those and it would have fallen flat for that. Great changing vocals as the darkness grows.

Amazing lyrics, so clever how you tied it all in, enough to give kids nightmares!

Out beyond the edges of your little patch of light
Awaits a darkness you can never know….
And every single thing you think you know just borders on the night 
On the other world that's out of your control
Out beyond the edges of the things that keep you safe
The butcher and policeman wash your hands
Here be all the dragons that at night keep you awake
Welcome gentle traveller to our lands

Come into my parlour says the spider to the fly
The perfect guest and who could ask for more?
Such a tasty feast we’ll have together you and I
Sweet mother nature red in tooth and claw

Out beyond the edges of the things you dare to say
Beyond what you'll admit to your own self
I await you smiling like the brother to your play
Smuggled in beneath your shame-filled stealth 
Out beyond on the edge of where the rules and laws are strong………. 
There's a madness that no mortal man can hold
Grip tight your burning torches and your precious right and wrong
I am the monster driven out by men of old

I was once a tender cub, an innocent at play
Lifted gently by a tender mother
With strike and shout they cast me out to hide the livelong day
And sink my teeth beneath a midnight cover
 
Out beyond the edges of the things that keep you safe
The butcher and policeman wash their hands
Here be all the dragons that at night keep you awake
Welcome gentle traveller to our lands
Out beyond the edges of the maps you're hoping still
Might bring you safely home so glad and happy
But in the valley’s deathly shadows I shall fear no ill
I am the evilest motherfucker in the valley
