Under your protective wing

I walked into the night

And a thousand angry demons up

And took flight

And I went running through the fields
With the fever in my veins
And the rain came crashing down
And tried to clear my name
Above my head  all in red

I could see you bearing down on me
You said you're not running out
No you're leaving now
I will find you  there is no way out
I'll keep tracking you
Down in the still of this night
Forever  mine forever
Don't leave your mark on me
I have to reply
I'm not staying  no
And I'm not just killing time

Don't leave your mark on me
I have to reply
I'm not staying  no
I'm not staying  no

Mistress of the darkness

Accomplice of the night

A shadow in the doorway beckons me inside

And something led the way
Though I could not see its face
And a voice from deep inside me
Screamed to get out of this place
Above my head
All was said as the jailor turned the key on me
He said you're not running out
No you're not leaving now
There ain't no way  there is no no way
Don't leave your mark on me  I have to reply
I'm not staying  no  and I'm not just killing time

Don't leave your mark on me  I have to reply
I'm not staying  no
I'm not staying  no

This nightmare never ends

Memories of absent friends

Masked illusions stare at me
Point the finger silently
Stand accused as the jury scares
There's a ghost in here somewhere
There's a ghost in here somewhere
Don't leave your mark on me  I have to reply
I'm not staying  no  and I'm not just killing time

Don't leave your mark on me  I have to reply
I'm not staying  no
I'm not staying  no
I'm not staying  no

Oh this nightmare really never ends
This is memories of absent friends

Oh this nightmare really never ends
There's a ghost in here somewhere

Oh this nightmare really never ends
This is memories of absent friends

Oh this nightmare really never ends
