Erase his memory…
Wipe it clean…
Remove the faces…
He has seen…
The ones he’s hurt…
And uttered the lies…
That stain his soul…
And make him despise…
Every bad thought…
And every wrong deed…
That was sown…
By the Devil’s seed…
And infected his head…
With Sinner’s thoughts…
Diverting him away…
From all that was taught…
About right and wrong…
The good and the bad…
Now he looks back…
And feels so sad…
As the fun distraction…
That made him smile…
Will be held against him…
At his final trial…
Of his dirty soul…
As he meets his maker…
And stands in judgement…
Accused of being a faker…
Before being condemned…
To an afterlife in Hell…
Chained to his Master…
For being an infidel…
Because for every action…
He knew the high price…
Yet was still addicted…
To thrills in the night…
They now haunt his memory…
Make him silently scream…
As he plays it all back…
When she whispers “Sweet dreams”…

Thank you my friend – I love this version of the song, so very dark! Cheers J
Welcome J, it is fab but then I find he does fabulous cover versions, most the time I prefer them to the original. I kinda owe him a huge hug and kiss as I tend to listen to him when the words aren’t flowing and so far it’s never failed to inspire.
