lyrics

Planet

I knew a man
I cast a spell
He lives in my dreams
Don't tell
His light is shining bright through my nights

I see a man who still does shine 'though his light has died
A thousand, thousand years ago

Fight the night that brings the tears
morning's memories how they pierce
I have stopped but they have gone those years
Fight darling in your sleep
Fight darling in sleep

So the reason why I came telling you here of my shame
I need you to release the man inside
I'll fight you ever night
