Why do I fear darkness?

The sun that sets, it takes away the light

Dampening my spirit that was once bright

The inner demons that spring to life

With endless thoughts my mind is rife

Why do I fear the darkness?

As the world slides into a deep slumber

Where does my mind aimlessly wander?

A wink of sleep I can’t catch

Those nightmares I dread to watch

Why do I fear the darkness?

Can you sing me a lullaby sweet?

I just crave for a peaceful sleep

The nocturnal instincts that keep me awake

Is this some curse that can’t be revoked?

I wait in this dark hole, desperate for a ray of light

With the darkness, how many more battles I need to fight?

Why do I fear the darkness?
