There's something in the woods I fear
As darkness starts to grow
I never liked to venture here
Ways home, I do not know

The frost down here I thought had thawed
Upon the beaten track
But ivy there has slowly clawed
Now dark is at my back

The sunlight was a hand to me
That reached down through the gloom
But now the only light I see
Is dripping from the moon

The darkness tumbles like a mist
Light only gasps and flees
As midnight crawls and turns and twists
And stalks me through the trees

A silence from the fog has spread
A silence dour as death
I only hear my fearful tread
Beneath my icy breath

A blackened aura stands astride
This deep midwinter night  
And lost, it drowns me like a tide
Alone in woods at night...
