I know why you have the nightmares

I know why you have the nightmares

Why you fear a demon hoarde

I know why you seek the light

But cannot find the Lord

I know why the peace evades you

Why the universe is still

I know why you wish it speak

And share with you its will

I know why you seek the angels

But find no presence near

And why you think you’re all alone

Why silence is all you hear

I know where your future lies

And why you dream of love

I know what your secret is

Your prayer to God above

I know why on running to

You really run away

I know why you fear the truth

And bid the lie to stay

I know why you spurn the good

Destroy the gifts you’re given

I know just how easy now

It is to be so driven

I know why you prefer the wind

Be lost inside the storm

I know why the earth should scare you

And you shudder at the form

And I know why I cannot tell you

The answers you seek to know

For I know just how to make you crumble

To bring you nought but woe

I know why I will not tell you

Why I’ll protect you to the last

Why my love for you is never-ending

Even though it is the past

 

I know why you have the nightmares…
