Lyrics

Knock, knock, knock,
The wolf is at the door.
I’m too young to meet my maker,
Need an angel and a sword.
Don’t send me letters.
One rip and they get torn.
I need something stronger,
Need an angel and a sword.

Don’t leave me.
Don’t let this be my fate.
Stand by my side,
And tell me that it’s not too late.

Please hurry fast,
Faster than this chord.
I’m fighting these devils,
Need an angel and a sword.
Please hurry, I
Can’t take this anymore.
I’m fighting these devils,
Need an angel and a sword.

If I had one person,
They could be my sword.
I’d climb mountains.
I’d ride, ride the fastest horse.

If I had one person,
They’d be my angel, too.
They’d sing to me.
They’d comfort me.
Help, help me push through.

Don’t leave me.
Don’t let this be my fate.
Stand by my side,
And tell me that it’s not too late.

Please hurry fast,
Faster than this chord.
I’m fighting these devils,
Need an angel and a sword.
Please hurry, I
Can’t take this anymore.
I’m fighting these devils,
Need an angel and a sword.
