The Dark Side

[verse] You can have what's left of me But if you do tread carefully Of the leaden dark you should be afraid For hither lies midnight's wild serenade Here the shadows whisper goodbye Don't listen - everything's a lie Erase this night from your memory Don't be another forgotten tragedy [chorus] Too late to hide - Too late to run This is the end - And it has only just begun Let the nightmare begin - ripped apart at the seams Welcome to the dark side of my dreams [verse 2] The gloom will be watching over you Stygian forests no light filters through This way lays neverending madness Left with bitter regrets and sadness Whatever you do, don't close your eyes It's just the dusk we all despise You'll not see us at our best So lay this bloody twilight to rest [chorus] Too late to hide - Too late to run This is the end - And it has only just begun Let the nightmare begin - ripped apart at the seams Welcome to the dark side of my dreams [bridge] [guitar solo] [verse 3] If your soul's still here by daylight Welcome to my daily nocturnal plight Greet the muted light of dawn For another eve can't be forgone [guitar solo] [chorus] Too late to hide - Too late to run This is the end - And it has only just begun Let the nightmare begin - ripped apart at the seams Welcome to the dark side of my dreams [fade] [end of song] [end]
