When I couldn't sleep
When I saw shadows moving
When I had to cry
I was afraid of the unknown

When I wasn't sure of where my next footstep would fall
He was always there
When I did some things out of my mind
When I let my life stray out of line

When I put myself in danger
When I just didn't care
He was my knight in shining gear
He was my strength to face the fear

My booming voice of reason
Now my childhood hero down
I don't even know who's there anymore
He came walking right on in through my door

Through my door
All I remember is a demon's attack
I had to protect myself from coming back
Coming back

Felt the pain of evil wrapping hands around my throat
Couldn't run away cause both my legs had been broke
Grab a gun and shoot into the dark to save my life
Didn't know what I had done till I turned on the light

Childhood hero down
Oh, my God, what have I done
Childhood hero down
It's just a dream that's in my head

Not just your father figure lifeless on the floor
He never should have just come walking through my door
I have to battle all the demons in my sleep
This is the company I keep that I keep

Felt the pain of evil wrapping hands around my throat
Couldn't run away cause both my legs had been broke
Grab a gun and shoot into the dark to save my life
Didn't know what I had done till I turned on the light

Childhood hero down
Oh, my God, what have I done
Childhood hero down
It's just a dream that's in my head

Childhood hero down
Memories and brains upon the wall
Childhood hero down
It's just a dream that's in my head

Why are all my loved ones dead
Childhood hero down
Oh, my God, what have I done
A shot in the dark has killed the one I love

Childhood hero down
Daddy, what were you doing in my room
When I was dreaming death and doom
Childhood hero down

Memories and brains upon the wall
Watching my childhood evil fall
Childhood hero down
It's just a dream that's in my head

Why are all my loved ones dead, dead
