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
