A Cloak Of Darkness by midnightrain Darkness shadows over light As evil surmounts good And I break down at the thought That the darkness should Darkness was my companion Ever shadowing my face Keeping me from prying eyes In a powering black embrace But darkness is quite jealous She keeps me for herself For now I don't need her covering I throw her onto a dusty shelf I've found a light in my life A safe and warm companion And as my life is turned around My face shall see the sun But darkness does not like this And she decides to end my glee For she thrives upon my suffering She doesn't care for me Her silky shadow floats Around you through the air Waiting, watching for a moment A time of your despair And when she sees your desperation She pounces eagerly Like poisoned wine, she pours inside Just like she did to me Her evil consumes your heart And her sufferring eats your soul Her hopelessness destroys your dreams And turns your heart to coal Her dark shadow ties around Your throat as you wish for death And wraps so tightly you feel numb She stifles your last breath The darkness has taken Another innocent life And as I cry for you and me Again she feeds upon my strife The darkness covers me Her evil destroys my last light And again my heart turns black As I fade into the night
