Whenever You Dream

Shhhhhh
Don't be alarmed by my black wings
I won't cause any pain
Let me explain

We've come from a faraway land
Too far away for you to understand
We are told to guard your race
Without leaving the slightest trace

We should never talk to you directly
A rule from above we follow strictly
Now that your lives are at stake
It's a rule we have to break

The truth is
Despite all our efforts
You remain our only hope
It's too ironic for us to cope

We can't provide you with protection
It's causing us deep frustration
You will just have to trust me
And believe everything I say

Whenever you dream
We shield you from the dark
We look through your mind
Collect your memories

You wake up
Your mind feels reborn
You write down your dreams
Confused what they mean

If you stay awake
and stop dreaming
Darkness will prevail
and win control
Taking you as a whole

You need to sleep
Trust me
Just sleep
