To be scared by an owl

Look at the sky
As the night descends
The rain is crashing down,
I´ve hit another dead end
Just before I let hope slip away
A shadow is revealed, the devil shows his face
I´m scared to death and have myself to blame,
(I´m to blame)
How did we end up fighting anyway?
You know, I used to search the sky
And dream of where you were
I need you by my side,
We can end this together
I know I promised you the world
And still I let you down
I need you by my side
And together we´ll end this now
Look in my eyes!
Am I shaking now?
I am all you fear,
Have I made myself clear?
Shut your mouth and finish what you´ve started
Boy, you haven´t got the slightest idea
Just who I am and what I do for you
Don´t you see that I am trying to save you?
Shut your mouth and finish what you´ve started
I´m scared to death and have myself to blame,
(No one else)
How did we end up fighting anyway?
You know, I used to search the sky
And dream of where you were
I need you by my side,
We can end this together
I know I promised you the world
And still I let you down
I need you by my side
And together we´ll end this now
[Speaking:]
As the last rays of sunlight fade,
One killer chases another
Through the tangled madness of the city
A flash of steel announces the presence of his quarry
The stage is set, the night explodes...
You killed her, you murderer
You have stripped me of the one that I love
Annabel, our Annabel
You have no clue what she´s capable of...
I´m scared to death and have myself to blame
(I´m scared to death and have myself to blame)
How did we end up fighting anyway?
You know, I used to search the sky
And dream of where you were
I need you by my side,
We can end this together
I know I promised you the world
And still I let you down
I need you by my side
And together we´ll end this now
You´d better look behind you...
[Speaking:]
Her youthful flush color had drained from her much
like the very blood from her veins upon the bedding on which she lied.
Such a foul image for one to behold,
but in some twisted way it only seemed to enhance her exquisite beauty,
like a lily on a grave.
I have failed.
Once again I have let her down.
My poor sweet Annabel.
You trusted in me, you gave me your love, your soul.
Now I fall to my knees in front of the man who took you from me.
I fall pathetic, defeated.
I will be with you again so soon, my love. So very soon.
The eyes of an angel await me and I´ll be damned if he thinks he can stop me now...
[Annabel:]
Sweetheart? Darling?
Turn around. It´s me.
Follow my voice.
Everything is going to be okay, my love.
Everything will be fine.
It´s all over now...
As the night descends
The rain is crashing down,
I´ve hit another dead end
Just before I let hope slip away
