Now I lay me down to sleep Free me from this nightmare’s keep Can you hear my voice, I’m calling, calling Will you take my hand and lead me home
Hear me calling Will you take my hand and lead me home

Chorus: Awake O Sleeper, for your time has come The dreaming is over and the nightmare has just begun Verse 1: 
She hails from the beautiful country of Romania, Roxanne living in the city of Oradea The radio waves reach and play from Hungary She listens as she’s sitting in her bed feeling hungry While her dad’s drinking rum, spending money at the pub She’s looking to her mummy to fill her tummy up But it’s funny ‘cause the money never seems to be lasting The ‘Black Tar Trade’ puts your pocket in a casket At fifteen she knows nothing of this But soon she’ll question what it means to exist Because this is the beginning of the end Wake O sleeper because it’s time to descend Transcending reality no time to pretend Inhuman brutality with no time to mend Wake O sleeper because it’s morning again And today, it’s the beginning of the end Chorus Verse 2: Roxanne wakes up on this fateful morning Looks to the sky it’s the calm before the storm When her home’s transformed to a trafficking store Because her father can’t afford the Black Tar anymore
He resorts to exploring more options But he’s not finding any that won’t cost him Because it’s costly fostering this profession His boss demands he hands over all possessions What was once a mere obsession now sees his demise As he stares his only daughter in the eyes And cries out and tries to tear from this dream Wake O sleeper from this nightmare’s scheme The fiends take her away into darkness Roxanne is broken down until her heart is Battered and bruised and never new again Your time has come, it’s the beginning of the end Bridge:
 Though you don’t know what you’ve done To deserve what’s to come Awake O sleeper, the nightmare has just begun Chorus

Verse 1 Can you hear the sound of the silence Can you hear the rising of lies Can you feel the tension of violence As it rises, as it rises Can you hear the screaming of sirens Can you see the tears in the eyes Can you see the beauty in an iris If it’s lifeless, if it’s life’s been Broken like a vase that is dropped and shattering Hoping for a taste of the water as it’s scattering Trampled on the concrete floor like an animal Feeling stone cold but her heart is an emerald Behold this child who is one of a kind A rose among thorns, but not in her mind Because her life’s been stripped, and taken away And now she’s left alone on this journey to decay Chorus: Now I lay me/Down in the shadow of the grave
Lay down where you belong little girl Can you hear me screaming at the top of my lungs? I feel like my whole world has come undone
Come undone Verse 2: 
I can see the terror in your eyes I can hear the fear in your voice
I will turn your screaming into silence Be still you have no choice 
I am scared I am oh so fearful 
I don’t know what is going on
 You have robbed my hope, my soul Roxanne is gone away From this place I can’t run, so I hide my face Roxanne, I am gone away I am lost in the darkness of the pain Chorus

Heart stop beating cause I hate the sound it makes in the room all alone Fire water numbs the pain of this hell I’m merely an echo, shadow of what I once was before Too many like me have lost their voice and refuse to speak of the pain - Who wants to relive the nightmare that consumes the day? Why don’t you look me in the eye as you walk through the door? Turn out the light, as the nightmare consumes me once more.

Verse 1: The time is drawing near, you can look into his eyes Feel the flame of his vengeance, the fire of the lies That permeate the room, it's a fight to the death Death of the marriage where there's no winner left   His anger swells, and hell's gates are opened His wife’s unleashed, romance broken He walks away with a flame in his soul  The fire still burns like a graveyard coal The wayward hold of a Jezebel sneer    Lingers in his mind like a whisper in the ear The lion will strike from the shadows of death And the beast will devour like 2 to the chest So his breath is heaving, excitement rising,  Adrenaline flooding, as he's fixing his eyes, on a girl   No the prize, no the object of demise Satisfy my craving while I lay down to die Chorus: I will stand in the face of death I will run even when I have no breath I will fly though my wings are broken I will be free again Verse 2 He gets a one way ticket to Amsterdam Gonna live the life that he wished he never had Gonna release the anger on a scarlet bed Hit the red light district cause all he sees is red He spreads the lie that's caught and deceives him, That love will come through the woman who receives him Believes it'll relieve the grieving pain easy But bleeding hearts need to bleed for a season Instead he treads on new earth Looking for a new place to find his worth, So he walks down the strip-mall looking for his winnings In the shop windows all he sees are these women Giving him a river flowing full of options But he walks on by their vivacious seductions And places his gaze on an Eastern girl Shy and scared, but has the beauty of a pearl She's intimidated by his animated desire Feeling bated and degraded like she's burning in a fire As he talks to her boss she knows They're discussing the cost, but all she wants is just to say no Chorus: Verse 3 He makes his move like a well-tuned criminal Bruised and battered, she's treated like an animal He asks her name, but she knows he doesn't care She replies, Roxanne, with a voice that's barely there She can tell by his accent, that he's American Not only that, his demeanor screams arrogance The cross around his neck casts out confusion "How can God be real if he lets me get abused" She stifles the tears welling in her eye and She pushes away the hand that's at her thigh Cries out for freedom, and tries to get out But she's making him angry, so begins the bout He knocks on her on the floor, so she scrambles and runs Leaves this inhuman beast feeling stunned But her boss spots the mess and yes intervenes Calm the American, but to Roxanne screams Obscenities she has never heard before He beats her so bad, she can't get off the floor, In his anger he sells her to Spanish man Roxanne sweet dreams, say goodnight to Amsterdam Chorus:

Verse 1:
 Welcome to the dead end street where you might as well eat the fat of the land I’ll tell you what you need to know to be a woman of the night and just let go Cause I was once like you
And you will soon be me And we’re all the tool of a selfish gentleman’s ecstasy So don’t be afraid cause we’re all just slaves on our way to the grave It’s time to embrace No hope, no point trying to taste it Cause I was once like you
And you will soon be me And we’re all just used as a tool to pursue a fool’s fantasy Chorus: 
The time has come it’s now or none Time to prove yourself tonight
With the setting of the sun don’t hide or run Cause you are now a woman of the night
(Now I lay me down to sleep
Free me from this nightmare’s keep) 

Verse 2: 
Welcome to the rock at the bottom Where there’s no moving up don’t even bother to try Now follow my orders or you’re going to force me to forfeit the freedom of your mind I see you taking steps in the right direction, you’re learning from the best of the best Now the rest is you, go do what you do, You belong to me, don’t ever get it confused Cause I was once like you
And you will soon be me Cause I worked my from the bottom to the top of this industry There’s no escape cause we’re all just slaves on our way to the grave
I’m just making more than you, so now follow my orders, Because you’re long over due. Chorus

Now I lay me down to sleep Free me from this nightmare’s keep Can you hear my voice, I’m calling, calling Can you take my hand and lead me home
 Hear me calling Will you take my hand and lead me home

I am empty but for the voice inside
 I am weary but for the voice inside, You know you have a voice You know you have a voice inside The voice inside is crying out The voice is calling out You know you have a voice Hear me calling, 
Lead me home You know you have a voice You know you have a voice inside I am empty but for the voice inside 
I am weary but for the voice inside

Chorus:
 Roxanne, you don’t have to put on that red light Walk the streets for money, you don’t have to sell your body to the night
 Verse 1 Roxanne, a beautiful girl Making good money in the under world Learning the magic of earning worthy money back quick Turning a burden to automatically drastic Measures to weather the storm New pleasures for tethering the scorn You can't know joy till you go through pain She's a veteran of lettering the voice refrain The stain of last night's shame persists Through the haze of her smoked cocaine stained lips Looking like a ghost both pale and thin Alcohol induced to reduce the chagrin When will the nightmare end? Looking forward to her dreams where she transcends She can hear a calm voice calling out her name She hears this voice in her dream say Chorus Verse 2 Roxanne, feeling cold and lonely Sold to the hole in her soul enfolding No room in the inn of her mind 
Cause there are too many using the rooms for their crimes The neon shines a flickering red Like the stain of wine dripping on her death bed The lies infect from dusk till dawn When the nightmare rests and the dreams turn on She hears the voice of freedom A song that brings her healing Rescued by an unknown being Filling her sleep with a life full of meaning If only it could last through the night If only she could grasp escape insight She can hear a calm voice calling out her name She hears this voice in her dream say Chorus 
Verse 3 Roxanne, looking for a saving life Blazing her way through the maze of the night She’s dazed and confused by the pain of the fight Days of abuse as a prey to the night Turn to condemnation No grace becomes desperation To a woman who hardly breathes She heals in her sleep and lives in her dreams Where she hears this voice of silence Calm in the storm peace in the violence Never wanna open up her eyelids Wishing these dreams would really be timeless A faceless voice in the dark Calling her name and setting her apart Hope filling her lungs numbing the pain She hears this voice in her dreaming say Chorus

Verse 1:
 I hear a voice call out my name 
In my darkest hour A voice of hope, a voice of peace A voice strength when I am weak Though I am weary, though I am broken Though I don’t know who you are, You’re in my dreams Verse 2: 
I’ve tried crying, I’ve tried screaming, But I’m choked in the silence of the night.
 I’ve tried hiding, I’ve tried running But my legs won’t carry me home Though I am weary, though I am broken Though I don’t know who you are, You’re in my dreams Chorus: 
This nightmare releases its grip on me 
As long as I hear your voice Call out my name 
I will believe
 I will be strong Bridge:
 The voice inside will lead me home The voice inside, when I’m all alone Chorus
