When darkness descends upon your skin,
Don't let it fill you, don't let in.
Don't turn to look or let the light go,
When the light is gone, darkness embrace.
Those who wish it to take lights place.
When you find a passion in the dark of night,
Be watchful of love that blinds your sight.
For darkness has a beauty that hides all lies.
Tricks you to think love is before your eyes.
There is something that lurks in the dark,
Longing to drink in your spark.
Be careful what you see or feel
For you maybe It's very next meal.
