There are monsters in the mist.
Ancient creatures that will never
cease their unending wrath on humanity.

For thousands of years we have feared them.
For thousands of years we have fought back.

Now, there may be no stopping them.

An incredibly old force has been awakened.
And for all our modern technology....

...we are practically defenseless.

So it shall pass that we follow the path of our ancestors
and vanish violently into the night...

He's got a crazy look in his eye.
He's strong and clever and spry.
In the depths of his mind,
There's a twisted design,
and a soul that's gone very awry.

He's holding a thick metal blade,
but this isn't a trick or charade.
He's found prey for his hunt,
and he's brutal and blunt.
Through his body sharp anger pervades.

He's coming for me in the night.
He's angry and wanting a fight.
The game comes undone,
with no chance to run.
He now has me locked in his sights.

I can't take you anymore.
Not because I hate you.
But because of an indescribably energy between us.

Like two magnets
pulling back and forth at each other.
Threatening to slip out of control
at any moment.

It's too much for me.
The intensity is not worth the price.
So please forgive me my darling
should I choose to disappear forever.

It was vicious.
It was brutal.
It was merciless.

We saw the blood.
We heard the screams.
We looked into your eyes.

Everyone knows you did it.

Yet somehow I am the one
who is made to take the bullet.

However wrong his words may be,
the Judge has spoken.

All I have left is the growing darkness.

It's hard for me to explain exactly
why she tempts me so.

Is it those deep red lips?
The alluring brown eyes?
Her long, dark and silky smooth hair?
That seductive smile that melts away
all my better judgment?

There's just something she does to me.

And I know I should stay away.

But I keep going back to the bottle.

I thought that I
distinctly heard
the angry voice
of another person
in the shadows.

But in fact it was
my own fears
and failures
being thrown
back upon me.

They told me I couldn’t do it.
They told me I’d never be good enough.
They told me I wasn’t worth it.

They told me I’d be laughed at.
They told me I would fail.
They told me I was useless.

They told me I was a loser.
They told me no one would ever like me.
They told me I would always finish last.

They told me I was stupid.
They told me I had no chance.
They told me I was nothing but a mistake.

I didn’t listen.
