When I couldn't sleep When I saw shadows moving When I had to cry I was afraid of the unknown When I wasn't sure of where my next footstep would fall He was always there When I did some things out of my mind When I let my life stray out of line When I put myself in danger When I just didn't care He was my knight in shining gear He was my strength to face the fear My booming voice of reason Now my childhood hero down I don't even know who's there anymore He came walking right on in through my door Through my door All I remember is a demons attack I had to protect myself from coming back Coming back Felt the pain of evil wrapping hands around my throat Couldn't run away cause both my legs had been broke Grab a gun and shoot into the dark to save my life Didn't know what I had done til I turned on the light Childhood hero down Oh my God what have I done Childhood hero down It's just a dream that's in my head Not just your father figure lifeless on the floor He never should have just come walking through my door I have to battle all the demons in my sleep This is the company I keep that I keep Felt the pain of evil wrapping hands around my throat Couldn't run away cause both my legs had been broke Grab a gun and shoot into the dark to save my life Didn't know what I had done til I turned on the light Childhood hero down Oh my God what have I done Childhood hero down It's just a dream that's in my head Childhood hero down Memories and brains upon the wall Childhood hero down It's just a dream that's in my head Why are all my loved ones dead Childhood hero down Oh my God what have I done A shot in the dark has killed the one I love Childhood hero down Daddy what were you doing in my room When I was dreaming death and doom Childhood hero down Memories and brains upon the wall Watching my childhood evil fall Childhood hero down It's just a dream that's in my head Why are all my loved ones dead-dead
