DARK SECRETS OF THE NIGHT
Unfolding around your mind
The dark secrets of the night,
Send you running for cover
To await the broad daylight.
Dark secrets are threatening
To drive you into madness,
Taking away your final hope
Creating suicidal sadness.
Dark memories are calling
Reminding you of the times,
When madness ruled you, when
You were out of your mind.
Dark hungers are filling you
Driving your every deed,
Like some awful false god
Taught by some dreadful creed.
The dark secrets of the night
Are stalking you, haunting you,
Driving you to deep insanity
No deed too foul for you to do.
The darkness of the night
Drives you toward evil,
Making you perform acts
Designed to raise the Devil.
Dark secrets are promising
To raise you to greats heights,
If you'll cast off all morality and
Spread fear through the nights.
The dark secrets of the night
Call you from your safe home,
Driving you out into darkness
To commit horrors still unknown.
THE END
