A DARKER SHADE OF BLACK

A darker shade of black.
To keep the shadows from peeking back.
A dimmer shade of dark.
Keep the fear out from my heart.

As I closed my eyes I drifted off to sleep.
Lying wide awake as darkness hovered over me.
In a darker shade of black the devil will attack.
Whispering my name but never knowing where he's at.

Lying in this dream I fear.
Nightmares don't come in this clear.
Paralized by the sounds of darkness that creep.
I lay in a stage of sleep.

Taken hostage from where my weakness lies.
Sleeping and I can't close my eyes.
At the darkness I stare back.
In a darker shade of black.
