Fear Of The Dark

In Western skies, the sun hangs low,

Into the Night the world goes-

Descending fast into the black of night-

No signs of light, no spark, nor fire-

There’s no escape, no hero sired-

Shadows cover the world tight-

The pitch black sky holds up no stars-

There’s no return, you’ve gone too far-

No God, or King, or Knight shall come to save you-

Heavy fog rolls in from all around-

The beating of your heart is the only sound-

Shadows steel away the life that Daylight gave you-

Horrific visions in your mind-

Feels like there’s something right behind-

You turn around, but nothing’s there-

You hear a voice call out your name-

Calling from beyond the grave-

Short of breath, thin is the air-
 

The fog so thick, you can not see-

A creature lurking in the trees-

With eyes as red as a bleeding wound-

The shapeless shadows grip you tight-

The Dead rise from their graves this night-

This is the night to meet your doom-

Running through the lightless night-

In danger, running for your life-

A lurking demon cuts you down-

Branded with the mark-

So many reasons to Fear the Dark-

Another life lost, never found.
