I cannot sleep alone again For my fears are gaining I hear a cry, it sounds so faint But I know it won't be long With her voice something old Echoes through the evening And all is still beside my heart And all that's left is waiting In the mist she sways Forever pale, forever grey (Into the night she's calling) My terror grows and I can't see Through the fog so thick outside I lay so still with eyes held wide Counting minutes 'til the dawn She peers inside, her laughter screams As she scratches at the door I lay so still with death in sight As the rain begins to fall And the thunder roars like hell Through the world tonight The one who should not be Is closing in And the door now opens wide Her footsteps can be heard The one who should not live Is just outside
