Something In the Silence

Something in the silence...it watches and it waits A predator of pleasure that thrives upon my pain Something in the silence...its eyes are everywhere Like mirrors in a madmans maze...reflections burn like rays Something in the silence...it swallows sanity Misguided by a monster by the light of lunacy Something in the silence...nightmare without a name Every turn I take in haste leads me right back to this place Something in the silence...is pulsing paranoia Possessed by a power of might and strength much too strong for words Something in the silence...both ugly and unholy I'm searching for my stricken soul until I realize it's stolen Something in the silence...where the sparrows sing their songs A rat engulfed in the belly of the beast...the rattlesnakes ritual Something in the silence...so close it cuts the air The reaper swings his sickle setting fire to my fears Something in the silence...soon sets my mind at peace Death is knocking at my door...I welcome that rough beast Something in the silence...appears and takes my hand Agents of the afterlife show me Gods prophecies and plans Something in the silence...tells me the way it ends Not with a bang but a whimper Not with a blast but barely a whisper Something in the silence...now it speaks to me With the silent assurance of a sleepwalker...now I rest in peace
