Protect

Darkness falls 
Fast asleep
They invade my dreams
My soul to keep
With fiery eyes and fangs of white
They haunt my dreams through the dark of night
I pray to you
With Angels might
Protect my soul
Stand and fight
With sword of fire and shield held high
Cast them out, of my dreams tonight
Oh, Holy Angel
Angel of Light
Cover me with your wings so tight
Held within your arms am I
To sleep of peace and joy tonight
