The Darkness hungers
In the dead of night
For other souls
To join the plight
For misery loves company
Or so they often say
But even in the biggest crowd
The Darkness holds dismay
The Darkness hungers
To infect more and more
To leave us aching
And begging at death’s door
The Darkness surrounds
And traps and binds
People who have lost the way
Now trapped in their own minds
The Darkness hungers
For more souls to trap
Who must wander through
Unending night without guide or map
The Darkness lives
In the souls it invades
Their hosts wither away
As all light begins to fade
The Darkness waits
Lurking in shadows
Patiently hiding away
Until it takes the one it chose
For we are the victims
Of the beastly Darkness
On our hopes and dreams
Feeds the beast, itself heartless
The Darkness hungers
And lingers and waits
It surrounds and traps
Playing out the strings of fate
Yet the Darkness will fall
Lay destitute at our feet
When we rise up and fight
‘Til the battle is complete
Light will win and Darkness will fall
We will rise up to take back it all
Minds reclaimed and souls re-won
The Darkness fades, our story done
