[v1]
Deathly silent, the night stands still
I’m helpless, like prey set up for the kill.
A thick fog engulfs each ray of light
A blanket of darkness now entombs my sight
[chorus]
Cant bear to set the demons free
So I hold them deep inside of me
Cant let them go, cant block them out
My mind races as I fill with doubt
Can I win this fight? Can my heart endure?
Or would I let this crime occur.
[v2]
A whistle now begins to blow,
flowing through the trees.
A howling so deafening, so intense
I’m brought to my knees
As the fog now clears, I begin to see
What? But a child standing before me.
[bridge]
A sight so innocent and pure
I cannot let this crime occur
I struggle to keep the demons at bay
I cant let them take my soul (her soul) away
[chorus]
Cant open my eyes
Don't wanna see
The darkness that’s taken over me
Cant believe that I could
Be so cruel
Cant face the reality of what I could do
It cant be true,
No, it cant be true
[chorus redone]
Couldn’t bear to set the demons free
So I held them deep inside of me
Growing stronger as I tried to block them out
Filling my heart with fear and doubt
Couldn’t win, my heart could fight no more
How could I have ever let this crime occur.
[bridge]
A sight so innocent and pure
How could I let this crime occur
I tried to fight the demons away
But they stole my soul anyways
(stole her innocence anyways)
