Afraid of the Dark
My best friend was taken yesterday
Just standing right next to me, got blown away
I never thought it would happen, I never guessed it could be
Last night, I could'nt even cry myself to sleep.
They told me everything was going to be alright
They said it was all okay, but they lied
I feel so empty, I feel so lost
Because my best friend has returned to dust.
I'm afraid of the dark...
I'm afraid of the dark...
I'm scared of the past
'Cause I know these nightmares
Will forever last.
I see him standing right there in front of me
When everything was the way it should
And then I see him gone, all so suddenly
Now, all I can see is his blood
The blood on my hands, the tears in my eyes
This burden of faith will never release my soul
He was taken, she was lost, this is no game, you'll never know my pain
I want them back, I don't want to fight
Please God give them back, I can't take the toll.
Afraid of the dark...
I'm afraid of the dark...
I'm scared of the future
I'm scared of what's to come
When days are laid to rest
And the nights never come.
I don't know why it happened
I don't even want to know
My best friend is dead
And my dreams are laid low.
Afraid of the dark...
So afraid of the dark...
I'm scared to open my eyes
I don't want to face your lies.
I'm afraid of the dark...
I'm afraid of the dark...
They've gone, they're not here
(Please God, where are they?)
...why?
...why...
Dear God, why?
I'm afraid of the dark...
I'm afraid of the dark...
And when they are all gone, what is left but the darkness?
