Lights Out
Heroes For Hire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lights out as your eyes get heavy
You better watch out 'cause tonight i'm coming for you
I'll watch you sleep and take your breath away

Your time has come and your silver bullets won't save you
So take your best shot
Better make this count 'cause this may be the last chance we have
While the full moons up

We're all alone in this nightmare
Theres noone left to hear you scream
Its too late now your falling
Falling into my dreams

Lights out as your eyes geat heavy
You better watch out 'cause tonight i'm coming for you
I'll watch you sleep and take your breath away
Sweet dreams are over my dear
You better run now cause your time is coming soon
I'll run away

Can you survive 'till daylight
Living up through the night
Im watching but i cant cant get you if you call
Its up to you now make your choice
Will you wake up in the morning and dwell upon your past?

Were all alone in this nightmare
Theres noone left to hear your scream
Its too late now your falling
Falling into my dreams

Lights out as your eyes get heavy
You better watch out 'cause tonight im coming for you
Ill watch you sleep and take your breath away
Sweet dreams are over my dear
You better run now cause your time is coming soon
Ill run away

Cause your life will crash before your eyes
(I'll stand i'll stand and watch you fall can you break free from this once more i'll stand i'll stand and watch you falling faster)
Cause your life will crash before your eyes
(I'll stand i'll stand and watch you fall can you break free from this once more i'll stand i'll stand and watch you falling faster)
Cause your life will crash before your eyes
(I'll stand i'll stand and watch you fall can you break free from this once more)
Cause your life will crash before your eyes

Lights out as your eyes get heavy
You better watch out 'cause tonight im coming for you
I'll watch you sleep and take your breath away
Sweet dreams are over my dear
Better run now casue your time is coming soon
I'll run away

I'll stand i'll stand and watch you fall
(Can you break free from this once more)
I'll stand i'll stand and watch you fall
(Can you break free from this once more)





Lights out as your eyes get heavy
You better watch out cause your time is coming soon
