The Battle Within

Sparks fly in the air Lights glow in the dark I am gripped by fear As my worst nightmare attacks It's shriek pierces my soul It's roar tests my bravery This battle has left my control And no one is here to save me The air gets colder The light gives out The darkness gets bolder And I'm filled with doubt I'm standing on a bridge, hewn from stone It lies between the world and my mind Now as it approaches, I'm all alone But this demon of mine must stay confined It must never escape from inside me For the world cannot withstand it And even though I may no longer be I will do all I can to hinder it I summon the courage I used to lack And stand there dumbfounded It's eyes glow a fiery glow It's wings are made of fire It's sinister smirk scares me so And I know it's one desire Huge and menacing, it comes before me I must now perform my appointed task 'Ancient and evil you may be, But you shall not pass.'
