Gothic

Silver dagger 
Shadow of a stranger 
Ominous danger 
In a dark, dark place 
unknown 
down deep where 
very few have ever 
gone 
And you, you in all 
your mysterious and 
Gothic ways 
that strange look in 
your eyes is like looking 
into the eyes of death 
on a foggy grey day 
I am afraid but paralyzed 
and cannot run away... 
As your voice echoes the 
words from your big black 
book of spells 
I feel trapped like a fly in 
a black widows web 
In the shadow of candlelight 
night after night 
with your cape pulled up around 
you tight 
I feel the cold, cold steel of your 
silver dagger 
Looking into the face of monster 
As the earth comes falling in on me 
my soul is released from its body!
