A lunar eclipse
Creeping shadow of Earth
A blackout is coming
Some terrible curse
The neighbors inside
While I stand alone
Braced for the spectacle
And chilled to the bone
The moon just a sliver
Starts turning my gears
Then with one final flare
The light disappears
Into the darkness
I walk without fear
Armed with my mind
I won’t shed a tear
Into the darkness
And out of the light
Where frightful sounds
Go bump in the night
I know it’s not real
It’s all in my head
And yet so overwhelming
This feeling of dread
Take a deep breath
Hold those demons at bay
Center my mind
Until the fear goes away
Into the darkness
I plunge once again
That devil disturbed
I slay in his den
I’m not afraid
I’m in control
You do not scare me
Crawl back in your hole
Into the darkness
The glow of my soul
Protects me from evil
And burns hot as coal
Into the darkness
I walk without fear
Armed with my mind
Sharp as a spear
Into the darkness
But I am alright
Because even in darkness
I am my light
And then here it comes
The moonlight return
To shine like my star
This you may learn
Don't fear the darkness
Or what it may do
Just arm your mind
It's all up to you
