Under your protective wing I walked into the night
And a thousand angry demons up and took flight
And I went running through the fields with the fever in my veins
And the rain came crashing down and tried to clear my name
Above my head, all in red, I could see you bearing down on me
You said you're not running out, no you're leaving now
I will find you, there is no way out
I'll keep tracking you down in the still of this night
Forever, mine forever
Chorus:
Don't leave your mark on me, I have to reply
I'm not staying, no, and I'm not just killing time
Don't leave your mark on me, I have to reply,
I'm not staying, no
I'm not staying, no
Mistress of the darkness, accomplice of the night
A shadow in the doorway beckons me inside
And something led the way though I could not see its face
And a voice from deep inside me screamed to get out of this place
Above my head, all was said as the jailor turned the key on me
He said you're not running out, no you're not leaving now
There ain't no way, there is no no way
(chorus)
This nightmare never ends, memories of absent friends
Masked illusions stare at me, point the finger silently
Stand accused as the jury scares, there's a ghost in here somewhere
There's a ghost in here somewhere
(chorus) - I'm not staying, no
Oh this nightmare really never ends,
This is memories of absent friends
(don't leave your mark on me)
Oh this nightmare really never ends,
There's a ghost in here somewhere
(don't leave your mark on me)
(repeats out)
