Gently the shadows settle

Darkness covering the light

Embracing our fears and dragging them out

Silence screams from it's rocky perch

Breaking into the realm below

Peace surrendered, my pulse quickens, driving my soul to run

In its desperate chase

Escape it does not find

The darkness resides within

No rest, no peace, no sleep

Evermore, evermore the shadows gently settle

Darkness covering the light.
