Pride's Darkest Fear

He chokes on chunks of ice cold fright Mind shut, chest tight He's afraid of the dark And black owns the night A hero by day He proudly maneuvers his masculine ways Tall, bold, powerful, strong Her source of desire She longs for his might But black owns the night Where fear is a giant And truth is a tyrant No one to impress here No woman in sight Solitude Engulfed in the terror of his own fear Surrounded by silence and sheer desperation Wrapped up in blackness, no room for pretenses This bold-faced hero He hides a secret that no pride could bare Mind shut, chest tight He's afraid of the dark And black owns the night
