Lyrics[]

I've been walking this road of desire
I've been begging for blood on the wall
I don't care if I'm playing with fire
I'm aware that I'm frozen inside
I have known all along

So much more going on, no denying
But I know I'm not standing alone

You've been playing my mind through my wishes
You can feel that we're haunting the truth
Don't know why, can't hold on, always losing control

In the middle of the night
I don't understand
What's going on, it's a world gone astray
In the middle of the night
I can't let it end
So I'll keep searching in shadows
Your life, it will never be in vain

In the middle of the night

No more tears, no, 'cause nothing else matters
I've been closing my eyes for too long
Only vengeance will make me feel better
There's no rest till I know that it's done

You've been playing my mind through my wishes
You can feel that we're haunting the truth
Don't know I can't hold on always losing control

In the middle of the night
I don't understand
What's going on, it's a world gone astray
In the middle of the night
I can't let it end
So I'll keep searching in shadows
Your life, it will never be in vain

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night

In the middle of the night
I don't understand
What's going on, it's a world gone astray
In the middle of the night
I can't let it end
So I'll keep searching in shadows
Your life, it will never be in vain

In the middle of the night
