THE DARKNESS
WITHIN
I've seen the darkness within.
I've seen the darkness that makes you sin.
I've seen the darkness; I know it well.
I've seen the darkness on the road to hell.
When you're in the darkness within, there's no need to fight.
The darkness is like quicksand, the more you struggle the more it holds you tight.
When the darkness surrounds you and you want to take flight,
The only way to freedom is to look for the light.
There is a beast in the darkness within and he sits high on a perch.
While below his children run and jump at you with a lurch.
They feed off your fears and desires.
They bask in the flames of your emotional fires.
The darkness within will devour your fire with all its heat and light
Until it consumes all your hopes and dreams and fight.
In the darkness within there is no pain, only dullness with every breath.
Because pain would be a sign of life and all you seek now is death.
You must kill the demon and bid it adieu
Before it smothers your soul and there is no more you.
You must stop the demon deep in the darkness within
Because if the demon wins, for you, it's the end.
In the darkness within you must find the love you once breathed like the air.
You must regain your passion that you know has always been there.
With this, you can kill the demon that’s deep in the dark,
Because the love in your heart will tear him apart.
With the sword of your passion, you can drain all his fight.
With this shining blade, you can cut through the darkness within and let in the light.
Let the light shine bright and energize your soul.
To never ever be in the darkness within should always be your goal.
I have seen the darkness within,
So listen and learn from someone who's been.
Never let go of your loves and your passions my friend.
Keep your light shining bright and stay away from the darkness within.
