A black dog comes
Creeps slowly in the room
Around my bed with fog
And circles the gloom
I'm trying but I can't find how
Nothing I can do
Nothing I can do to fight
The nightmares will come
In my sleep tonight
Oh, I wish I could run
I wish I could hide
But the dog's getting closer now
Can't you be by my side?
Nothing to pet
I need her now
Can heaven send her reaching down
An angel
Oh, an angel
He slows down my breath
He sits on my lungs
Like I've been climbing
But I can't find the rungs
I'm out of breath
But I can't find the reason
Well I don't know why he's here
Kingdoms will fall like glass
Nightmares will come to pass
Oh, this will be the end of me
