Hungry Darkness
A shadow hungers only light
They become alive with flames at night
A little girl she calls my name
Every night it's the same old game
This never-ending flood of fear
Of all I had ever held so dear
It's lost forever nevermore
All the glitter turned to gore
Thousand candles lit but still
No enlightenment only feeling ill
I feel sickness breathing down my neck
Dark shadows clawing on my back
As sweet smells enrich the room
Death's scent brings nothing but doom
Like every night when he comes for me
When there's still so much left to see
