The Haunting

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dee Snider] I can't count the days I've roamed A straying ghost light to wither on the vine A paling tale of days long gone I won't be until you close your eyes [Pre-Chorus: Dee Snider] Sleep tight, someone's always by your side [Chorus: Dee Snider] 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 wanna feel Must not be... but you know it is real We're there for you [Verse 2: Dee Snider] 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'll phrase me I'll be gone [Pre-Chorus: Dee Snider] Sweet dreams, see you in the twilight zone [Chorus: Dee Snider] 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 wanna feel Must not be... but you know it is real We're there for you [Bridge: Tobias Smmet] God, I must contain my wayward fantasy And where do all those wicked dreams come from Pictures in the dark, they seem so eerily Real tonight, I pray my mind is wrong [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus: Dee Snider] I'm the spark they refuse to conceive [Chorus: Dee Snider] 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 wanna feel Must not be... but you know it is real We're there for you
