When the night has come
And my strength has failed
Help me fire my gun
So I can fight again
At the final charge
When I cry in despair
Won't you take my hand
And guide me through the fray
Don't let me go (let me go)
If I want to stay
Don't lie to me (lie to me)
If I ain't going to make it
Don't leave me naked in the dark (in the dark)
Be at my side tonight
Don't let me mourn (let me mourn)
My past mistakes
In my last moments (my last moments)
Let me be brave
And when my flame has got no spark (got no spark)
Then be my friend
And let it end
When they come for me
Won't you be my shield
If I cannot flee
Oh will you carry me
Where my body falls
Let them bury me
When the tears are gone
Will you remember me?
Don't let me go (let me go)
If I want to stay
Don't lie to me (lie to me)
If I ain't going to make it
Don't leave me aching in the dark (in the dark)
Just one syrette, I beg
Don't tell me no (tell me no)
If I want to pray
In my last moments (my last moments)
Let me be brave
And when I've played my final part (final part)
Then be my friend
And let it end
