Fear No Demon

The night is cold, as are my eyes
The misfortune, it comes alive
Leave, say I, only in the presence of light
Turn from this world, and so will I
A life of torment... Have I, thus barely survived
A heart of stone, blood cold as ice
Adjust thy vow, and return to the night
Remember the pain, live in fright
Never slumber, and have bloodshot eyes
Forked tongue, and a crooked smile
Fear no demon, for the Devil is,... I
