There's a Lady in Black and she's standing at my head.
Looking down on me, as I lay sleeplessly in my bed.

Clawing at purity gone deaf, innocence lying dead.

Oh for all the sleepless nights spent screaming,
I realize now that in my dreaming, she was really in my head.
There's a Lady in Black and she's standing at my head.

Where thoughts and dreams become entwined
Where truth and false are wine and dine
