This man that stands before me This man he holds your gallant name A branded soul still burning Every night you fear the same (Cry out) Cry out my friend let me know Don't hide the truth, don't let me die in vain Open your heart, breathe again Don't be afraid of the dark Hide from the memories But show me where you are Don't be afraid of the dark The shadow that I see The ghost is really me Don't bite the hand that feeds you Don't throw away the help you need To fear those haunting nightmares Hell and back but never free (Cry out) Cry out my friend let me know Don't hide the truth,don't hide away the pain Open your eyes, see again Don't be afraid of the dark Hide from the memories But show me where you are Don't be afraid of the dark
