Their presence has grown, yeah [Chorus] As you scream through the night As you scream through the night sky As you scream through the night You can't take back what's already died [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] As you scream through the night As you scream through the night sky As you scream through the night You can't take back what's already died [Verse 3] Awaken their cries never end, they torment you then When will they leave me alone? They're calling me home, yeah [Outro] As you scream through the night As you scream through the night sky As you scream through the night Can't take back what's already died -----------------------------------------------------------------
