You lurk everywhere
I see you in the shadows
you manipulate this earth
you make it dark
you make the kids have dreams

you scare those who mind their own
you chase away the light
you bring clouds
you bring the night fall
the thought of the unknown

we jump every time
even if we hear ourselves breath

but I have power over you
so there for I declare war
I will fight you till death
and I will see light break this

but I don't declare this war alone
I have sisters and brothers
there are thousands of them
and we will stand together

when you decide you are going to attack one
we will all stand against you
you will be cast back to where you belong
I will know the difference
when you knock on my door
I will not answer
for you are not worth my time
