Upon my neck
I can smell its breath
Its growl I hear
And it tastes my fear
A darkness creeps
Like a black-veiled cloak
My mind consumes
All thoughts of doom
I want to fight
Or give wings to flight
As I feel its power
Just waiting to devour
It saps my strength
Drains all resolve
Held by this power
I begin to cower
I can’t say when
I can’t say why
It just appears
To feed my fears
Still I know it breathes
Because I let it breath
The Black Dog’s there
Because I give it air
