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
