The Darkness Inside

As the dark creeps in I sly away To the valley of the unknown Where darkness never sleeps snakes and skeletons are the floor to the unknown I try to feel my way to the despair of of a hissing breath I become the darkness and it becomes me afraid am I not for the darkness is one with my soul and I am it's master Nor do I shiver nor look down for the darkness give me the strength to wonder alone The fire becomes the night and the creatures walk among the ash dripping with envy the sleeplessness wants free to the leaves they give cold but nothing can be seen for the only ones that see are the ones walking among the night The darkness chooses your soul and you can't ever escape the valley the more you run the deeper inside you become
