He's pale with fear This little boy Cause night is coming on This child's room will Turn into a grave To sacrifice his brain His tiredness conquered him at last So now he's fast asleep Through all his dreams He's waiting for A sign of the deadly beast He's sitting in the middle of A hall with one red door And listening to an unknown voice With a friendly tempting call Now face your fears You must open the door Come to the other side Pluck up courage and face your fears He has been cursed Since he was young This nightmare pesters him So, as a man It's still the same He fears the same old dream In all the years he never tried To open the red door Every night a senseless fight The terror continues He's sitting in the middle of A hall with one red door And listening to an unknown voice With a friendly tempting call Now face your fears You must open the door Come to the other side Pluck up courage and face your fears Then after an empty life Old man's lying in his bed to die The voice entreats him for the last time And a doomed man has no more fear He's opening the red door and then The sun breaks through the clouds of pain You better face your fears
