Shades appear around you As you lie down to sleep Silent whispers in the dark Horrid shapes, deformities Cringe and close your eyes Beg the horrors, 'leave me be' Alone you face your beast Shuddering as you weep Shadows fall, the night's here Faces haunt my dreams Cries from times forgotten Of Old evils Visions roam your mind Sunken cities, forgotten crimes From dark corners of the earth Tales from wicked times Yield to the fear Alone and battered in the dark The nightmare now reality A hollow shell, insanity
