Текст песни Afraid of the Dark - Beyond The Black

Every day I try to run, but in vain
Anytime I stop, it all starts again
In the shadows I cast
Silhouettes of the past
Every day I lie and say that I'm cured
Even though I know they're just empty words
If there's nowhere to turn
Am I destined to burn?
Who is my salvation
When no one's aware I'm at war
(Under this skin)
I feel a stranger, her sadness and her rage
(Under this skin)
I hear her screaming and rattling in her cage
(Fight her! Fight it!)
I'm afraid of the dark!
(Fight her! Fight it!)
I'm afraid of the dark!
(Fight her! Fight it!)
I'm afraid of the dark inside me
Every year I pray that I'll be released
On my knees, I beg and plead for some peace
And the answer's the same
I'm consumed by her flames
Who is my salvation
When no one's aware I'm at war
(Under this skin)
I feel a stranger, her sadness and her rage
(Under this skin)
I hear her screaming and rattling in her cage
(Fight her! Fight it!)
I'm afraid of the dark!
(Fight her! Fight it!)
I'm afraid of the dark!
(Fight her! Fight it!)
I'm afraid of the dark inside me
Give me the light that I need to defeat the dark
Give me the light that I need to escape
Give me the light that I need to defeat the dark
Give me the light that I need to escape
Give me the light that I need to defeat the dark
Give me the light that I need to escape
Give me the light that I need to defeat the dark
Give me the light that I need to escape
If we cursed instead of blessed
Help me, lay us both to rest
(Under this skin)
I feel a stranger, her sadness and her rage
(Under this skin)
I hear her screaming and rattling in her cage
(Fight her! Fight it!)
I'm afraid of the dark!
(Fight her! Fight it!)
I'm afraid of the dark!
(Fight her! Fight it!)
I'm afraid of the dark inside me
