You claim there is a monster Lurking underneath your skin You say it will consume me If you ever let me in
You set up warnings round you like A test for my resolve You lurk beneath your bridge And think your sins will never be absolved
Open up The morning's almost here Don't be scared There's nothing left to fear
I'm not afraid of your darkness I'm not afraid of your night I'll face it ready and willing And give your demons a Hell of a fight Just don't give in to the madness Or wrap it round you so tight I can comfort a child who's afraid of the darkness But pity the one who's afraid of the light Afraid of the light
You've worn this mask so long you Think it's now become your face Your loneliness has now become Your favorite hiding place
But I don't scare that easily I've been this way before I know my way around the maze And I know how to smash the door
Close your eyes And step into the day Take my hand I'll spirit you away
I'm not afraid of your darkness I'm not afraid of your night I'll face it ready and willing And give your demons a Hell of a fight Just don't give in to the madness Or wrap it round you so tight I can comfort a child who's afraid of the darkness But pity the one who's afraid of the light Afraid of the light
(insert obligatory electric guitar solo)
Come awake The nightmare's almost done Now we'll burn These shadows in the sun
I'm not afraid of your darkness I'm not afraid of your night I'll face it ready and willing And give your demons a Hell of a fight Just don't give in to the madness Or wrap it round you so tight I can comfort a child who's afraid of the darkness But pity the one who's afraid of the light Afraid of the light Afraid of the light...
