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

Black Dog
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
