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 fairy tale

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 another worldly 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
