After Dark

A vision haunts you, it's black as night
And to escape you turn on the light
A curtain mist that stands in your way
Slowly turns your night into day

Reflected fantasy
And dreams that won't set you free
Explain it all to me
It's all in your mind
You're running after me
To make me something I'll never be
Eyes open but you don't see
The dangers after dark

You broke the mirror but you didn't care
The shattered pieces swirl in the air
A voice that calls you from inside your head
Makes you join with the living dead

Too late for fantasy
And dreams become reality
The truth I cannot see
Through your web of lies
Night creature with tortured soul
Cracked actor without a role
Black shadows where you can hide
But only after dark

Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!

Take a bite, surprise, the flames in his eyes are burning
Nobody would have guessed the fangs for your flesh she yearning
He's full of sin, the nightmares begin on fire
Now you can run, now you've become a vampire

You were so happy until he came along
You had your weakness but now you are so strong
You think I'll join you, how could you be so wrong?
I'll never die for your dreams, no
I'll never die for your dreams

You smashed your mirror, no image there to be found
You'll stalk the shadows after dark
Wow!
Stalk the shadows after dark
