The Haunting

Written by Tobias Sammet
I can't count the days I've days I've roamed A stray ghost liked to wither on the vine A paling tales of days long gone I won't be untill you close your eyes
Sleep time Someone's always by your side
A thousand nights we've been calling your name Close your eyes but I won't go away We're there for you The cold embrace that you don't want to feel Must not be but you know it is real We're there for you
Don't you waste your time and try To understand this figment of the lie
Don't breathe the word to anyone By the time you phrase me I'll be gone
Sweet dreams See you in the twilight zone
A thousand nights we've been calling your name Close your eyes but I won't go away We're there for you The cold embrace that you don't want to feel Must not be but you know it is real We're there for you
Down I must contain the wayward fantasy Where did all those wicked dreams come from Pictures in the dark they seem so eerily Winter night, I pray my mind is wrong
I'm the spot they refuse to conceive
A thousand nights we've been calling your name Close your eyes but I won't go away We're there for you The cold embrace that you don't want to feel Must not be but you know it is real We're there for you
