Into the Darkness

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
