Rewrite of the Heart classic by the same name

Somebody please

Spare me a little candle

Save my life for me

Nightmares up ahead

He moves in the trees

Scarred skin

Layin' in waitin'

Claws to slash

The perfume upon my wrist

A demonic  man hangs hung over

Blurring reality and these dreams

Into one confusing mist

Darkness sets my nerves

On a trembling edge

Shadows creep over to where I stand

I scamble for time

On a watch with broken hands

I fear what is to come so deadly

Please let him come no closer then this

Cause I don't wanna taste his devil's kiss

Chorus

These dreams come on

When I close my eyes

Every second of the night

I fear for my life

These dreams they creep

Bringing in the dead of winter

Into my summer inside

Every moment I quake

Praying to awake

Before forever he takes my last breath away

I choke

Seeing upon his hand a  Satanic dagger

If he springs

I know surely my soul to Hell will fall

I cannot escape from his cut

Watched by unfeeling eyes

Burning through a stained glass wall

Weaker in me grows the fight

Melting fast is the candle in my grip

Words and screams of terror take no form

Dying quickly before they can escape my lips

Chorus

There's something out there

I can't resist

I want to run

But my feet are concrete

Cannot get away

Hide away from his planned pain

Cos there's something out there

He won't let me resist

My sweetest song and hope for silence

Will sadly never be heard

Funny how my feet in my worse dreams

Won't obey my wish

To return to a normal earth

In a world full of  princes

Where is my freedom?

Where oh where is my fairy tale kiss?

Why does my prince hide his face?

Leavin' me in bloody dreams

Trapped in Kruger's mist

Chorus 2X
