Sloping in the Dark

It is an exceptionally dark night.  You are approaching a remote airport.  All you can make out on the ground are the runway lights...
As you get closer, you notice that the most distant runway lights appear to be increasing in elevation.  If you make no corrections, at touch-down you expect that you will see... 
You quickly decide to make power adjustments and throughout the rest of the approach, you manage to keep the elevation of the most distant runway lights from changing... 
Will you be glad you did that?
