In the Shadows
In the mist of the foggy night
I heard the sounds of the devil's cries
Off in the woods not far away
I knew they were there lying in wait
They were here to stay
The shadows danced upon my door
a coldness, I will feel forever more
Not knowing what held my fate
It was I, who must lie in wait
The wind made a ghastly sound
With no haste, for me to be found
I could not hide , from it this night
I must pay for all's sins
To set things right
I held my chest with the up most fear
I knew it was coming , so very near
The beats, I could hear loud from my heart
The tightness was chocking me
in the mist , in the dark
All for love in my mind did scream
Now to take me away from this thing
Where are you now
why do you not sing
The only thing to be heard
were those ghastly cries ,
off in the mist sent to disturb
No reason why
Where are you
why don't you come
I am set down alone
with no where to run
Do you not remember me,
love burning bright , as the sun
The darkness is upon me
I have no where to run
Fear engulfs my very being
My one great need
that is forever fleeing
Please, stand and be strong,
do not let the shadows
drag me along
Nearer they approach ,
The devilish cries are so strong
I fear this is the last
of my lover's song
I go into battle yet again
all alone
Where are you hiding, why have you gone
The air begins getting colder
the wind is getting strong
There is no moon out to be shown
I hear them right outside my door
no more hiding, for me anymore
Their nails begin to scratch
loudly at my door
A sound I will not forget , never more
With one final gust of wind
The permanent silence let in
In the mist of that foggy night
The only sounds heard were the devil's cries
