A Phantom In the Night

A button taken from a sleeve The curse muttered in the silent night tears and blood shed for the memories A phantom in the night A monster of the mind Eating away on our shells The shells of solidity that shelter our love Destroying what bravery we may have had replacing remaking it with fear A love destroyed The curse revoked tears shed in the dark suicide thought s crept death brought forth by fear alone buried by the shame the waited us down A curse muttered in the silent night From hell a phantom in the night A cursed object thrown into time waiting to awaken its master a phantom in the night
