I am around you in the shadows Sit by your bedside every night The one you fear the most I play with your emotions Toy with your hopes and dreams You flounder in the darkness And all who pass here, come to me A whisper in your ear Then I move in behind you I have you dancing on a string Just give yourself to me, resistance cannot save you I am the all-consuming presence And all who pass here, come to me And no returning! Life! Death! Life! Fall to your feet no escape Life! Death! Crawl on your knees no escape And in the end there are no answers Your questions met with mocking silence Only my open arms to hold you in the darkness All follow me to silent sleep And all who pass here, come to me And no returning! Life! Death! Life! Fall to your feet no escape Life! Death! Life! Crawl on your knees no escape
