Why do you come to me in dreams

Why do you come into my dreams,
Where only faint your shadow lies?
Your steps are barely heard it seems,
Beneath the red moon in the skies.

Your phantom from the ancient past
Brings sorrow, fear from distant years.
An unseen veil at night won’t last,
It fades away before my tears.

Chorus:
Why do you come to me in dreams,
And call me in the silent night?
Don’t sing to me your haunting themes,
Don’t touch my soul, don’t hold it tight.

I drew my sword, prepared to fight,
But shadows cannot feel the blade.
Why do you call me to that night,
Where all is empty, cold, and grey?

You tear apart my fragile mind,
The castles that I built in vain.
A crushing sorrow I will find,
Each time you wander back again.

Chorus:
Why do you come to me in dreams,
And call me in the silent night?
Don’t sing to me your haunting themes,
Don’t touch my soul, don’t hold it tight.

Go back to darkness, fade away,
Leave me the stars, the breaking dawn.
Let night erase you from my way,
And let your trace be truly gone.
