My demons came last night
They caught me when my sword was
In its sheath and my armour hung
On the wall, didn't I loathe myself?
They came in black gums and white teeth
Could it not lend some respite

For a distressing spirit?
My demons mirrored my piano last night
My fingers were gateways to torment
And through my arms they gloated —
Black and white betrayed me
Until my guardian angel came

Through the mist of my eyes
And the fog in my brain —
She clothed me in my armour
Oh! They did tremble in that hour
From whence they came they fled.
Tale of how haunting shadows of the past came and were conquered
