As a child, I was frightened When someone put out the light I thought those dark, evil demons Only ever came out at night Now I wake up in the morning Can't keep them demons at bay I look in the mirror frightened by the light of the day Frightened by the light of the day I made a cross once to chase them away I prayed to God, but even he was afraid Somebody help me I can't stand this emptiness I've known your love And I need it to survive I'm sound in body and sound in mind But this emptiness Like some disease, it eats away inside I am frightened of dying I'm afraid for my soul Afraid of where it is hiding Afraid of where it will go I am frightened of knowing But more afraid not to know If I chose this life I chose it from the very back row I chose it from the very back row I made a cross once to chase them away I prayed to God, but even he was afraid Somebody help me I can't stand this emptiness I've known your love And I need it to survive I'm sound in body and sound in mind But this emptiness Like some disease, it eats away inside As a child, I was frightened When someone put out the light I thought those dark, evil demons Only ever came out at night Now I wake up in the morning Can't keep them demons at bay I look in the mirror frightened by the light of the day Frightened by the light of the day Frightened by the light of the day
