in the dark

I’ve got a fear, my Lord, as I’m going to sleep
There’s a man down below me, with a promise to keep
He’s got a razor sharp thingy, he’s willing to use
I know he knows no limits, I’m easily abused
He’s been talking a lot to me, how I should see the light
How I should give in to my craving, and abandon all fright
I know I wanna stay here, to submit would not be right
But he’s got so much more to offer, in all of God’s might

My Lord, my Lord
Don’t put me in the dark tonight
My Lord, my Lord
Please save me
I’m still afraid of the dark

There’s a party down below, with everyone that I’ve loved
They are not like I remember, they’ve been beaten and shoved
And though I hear them calling, I know I shouldn’t go
But at the same time I ask, is this all what’s to show
Of what I have always pictured, what’s waiting there for me
When my time up here is done, when it’s my time to leave
To submit would not be right, but as it goes, apparently
I cannot help but feel that now, it is my time to flee

So my Lord, oh, my Lord
Please put me in the dark tonight
Oh my Lord, my Lord
Don’t save me
I’m not afraid of the dark

No
Oh, I’ve got no more incentives, no more reasons here to stay
I know it shouldn’t be like this, but then I see no other way
To resist the cries of darkness, to walk on like nothing’s wrong
I know we’ll see each other later, but the time, it will be so long

So my Lord, my Lord
Please put me in the dark tonight
My Lord, my Lord
Don’t save me
I’m not afraid of the dark
