Turn the lights on
Oh turn the lights out
Surrender to the dark night time sky
And let the shadows come as they may
Bring me to my knees
Out of this world of make belief
Stop me from loosing control
And all the innocent willingly selling their souls
Another uneven trade for more lies
His repulsive, pretentious disguise
By which we're all so blindly fooled
Turn the lights on
Oh turn the lights out
One more time
Lets play that same old funeral song
That bleeds our tears dry
And turns our hearts
Oh so freezing cold
As we slowly walk away from the grave
Letting them rest and feeling sorry
Cos they couldn't be saved
Knowing that they'll never
Never awake from their dreams
Forever
We're stuck in this nightmare
With all those cold glares
And those back stabbing stares
Turn the lights on
Oh turn the lights out
Look for me
Down in those dark catacombs
Where i endlessly drown myself in sorrow
Eagerly awaiting to escape from it all
Longing to hear that same song
But this time at my own funeral
Turn the lights on
Oh turn the lights out
Turn the lights on
Oh turn the lights out
Stand there and watch me as i scream out and call
Don't catch me no matter how hard i fall
Turn the lights out
