******************************************************************** LYRICS: Living on the edge of falling down Like each day would be your last one Reaching for the stars that shine so far Take my hand it will be alright For you and me to go Look into my eyes they are black as night now You can see your reflections I tell you no lies You are the prisoner of your own feelings itīs true Thereīs something inside you but you just wonīt let it come out When the night comes you wonīt be alone īCause I will be there I will be there I will be there I will be there I will be there When the darkness enters into your room Donīt be afrain īcause Iīll be there When the darkness enters into your room They will put you down with their minds of steel Despise and scorn you just because they cannot feel Hell is eternity hell is your destiny I can see it in your eyes that you want to say but you canīt When the night comes you wonīt be alone īCause I will be there I will be there I will be there I will be there I will be there When the darkness enters into your room Donīt be afrain īcause Iīll be there When the darkness enters into your room Listen to me hear what I say youīre playing a dangerous game There is no time to waste anymore Because it is getting so late Get what you got give what you can Leave all the memories behind Or theyīll be haunting you forever Yeah eh I will be there Yeah eh I will be there When the darkness enters into your room When the darkness enters into your room ********************************************************************
