I wake up in the dark, shivering in my sweat I must have had some bad dreams, but I have no memories The silver gleaming full Moon shines into my room Why am I so restless, I wish that I could sleep I turn on the light and see my hands are red of blood Where I supposed my body everything is red And I say Oh, Lord!, protect me from my dark half Oh, Lord!, save me from my dark half Oh, Lord!, how can I resist? But soon I realize this blood is not mine But I can't remember anything, what has happened tonight I just fell asleep to find some rest for my soul But I felt some kind of instinct as the wind began to howl Oh, Lord!, protect me from my dark half Oh, Lord!, save me from my dark half Oh, Lord!, how can I resist? I wake up in a dream lying in my bed I'm feeling cold I open up my eyes and see I'm not alone A man is standing in front of me with a dagger in his hand He doesn't show his face but there's a strange intimacy And suddenly I recognize him when he starts to talk to me He talks about my future and the pain he'd give to me And that I'll never get what I expect And the faults that I have made Oh, Lord!, protect me from my dark half Oh, Lord!, save me from my dark half Oh, Lord!, how can I resist? But then he's turning friendly and whispers in my ear That he has an idea and before he disappears He puts the dagger in my hand and soon I understand The dagger touches my wrist while the bells begin to toll Oh, Lord!, protect me from my dark half Oh, Lord!, save me from my dark half Oh, Lord!, how can I resist?
