Darkness Before Dawn

Folder: 
Gothic

The darkness before dawn is almost here

Feeling something close, holding back my fear

Looking to my left and looking to my right

Thinking of the things that I saw tonight



Things that would make most people shake

Knowing I'd be safe as long as I'm awake

Hiding in alleys and in the slums

Struggling to survive until dawn comes



These things from the dark will return to their lair

Hiding and sleeping, with most all unaware

Of there evil plans to take over mankind

I wish above all for a little peace of mind



Must get my rest while they keep from sight

Then fight them again with all my might

This struggle continues day after day

To me it's a war, to them it's just play



One of these day's I'm sure it will end

When finally I will no longer need to defend

No longer hear those blood curdling screams

No longer having these nightmarish dreams

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Our dreams can be very vivid and real sometimes.

Of course that gallon of wine didn't help.
