Darkness

Once upon a dark autumn night I was so very far from sleep I longed to walk beneath the stars Into the wood so dark and deep Neither myth nor fairytale Could keep me from the path to the maze But eyes upon me I could feel Hidden in the shadows, watching always Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming? Cut the strings that bind me to mankind Once while I was sitting in my room One cold and silver winter's day I could hear an otherworldly call Try as I might, I couldn't turn away Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming? Cut the strings that bind me to mankind Somewhere in between the moss and the stone The wind and the wood became my home I laid myself down upon the green When the ivy overgrew, I could never leave Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming? Cut the strings that bind me to mankind Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming? Cut the strings that bind me to mankind
