You're in my dreams,
my head, my mind
no way to escape it
or leave it behind
Like a black cloud floating
the evil comes near
finding me shivering
running from here
Away! I say, go now
leave this place
stop your tormenting
I pray for some grace
After these years
and the passing of time
it's impossible, unthinkable
to forget your crime
Once on a pedestal
you were my whole world
now depressing memories
will haunt me till I'm old
Whatever possessed you...
the devil inside?
or the works of
a devious and callous mind?
