I knew she wasn't to blame
Saw the sparkle of truth in her eyes
And I cried as I called out her name
But I knew someone must die
Ten years she left me alone
Til finally she came as I slept
She cried in a frightening tone
And I knew I would die as she wept
She said don't waste your days
Cos I can't find you there, you're safe in the light
But don't ever grow tired
I'll be waiting for you when you close your eyes
For hours I held her at bay
I kept my eyes open and wide
But slowly I drifted away
I saw her and she grimly cried
She said you'll never sleep
I'll be here forever til the day that you die
You can bury me deep
But you will never escape me when you close your eyes
When you close your eyes
