Darkness
Darkness comes in to
Eat the light
So keep within you
All fear tonight
For the hunt is on
This coming winter
And there'll be nowhere
To run
When it catches you
Do not wish to wither
Or drown in darkness
They'll only engulf you
Forever more
Haven't you heard
What they do to people?
They rip and tear
And gnaw and bite
Leave you scared hopless tonight
Singing claws come out to snatch you
Eager souls want you to join them
Hear their stories of how
They were caught
Never followed what I told them
Their pride condemning them for naught
Hear what I say!
And hear what I dont
When the dark creeps in
And devours the light
Keep a ray deep within you
For if they sense even a slither fear
Don't be surprised to find them curled by your ear
Close your ears from their hungry whispers
For they are conniving and greedy
Yearning for your soul
Soon no one will see the life they stole
From your unresponding body
As it lops and lolls
Alone, wanting, needing so desperately
To be heard
While your soul screams, terrible cries
Sorrow on, my poor, poor friend
You misfollowed my directions
Now this is your end!
