Count the shadows
don't sleep
wolves eyes hidden
in the cloth of sheep

count the shadows
don't blink
all that is risen
has begun to sink

count the shadows
don't run
the dark of the moon
no promise of sun

count the shadows
don't speak
they eat your fear
feed on the weak

count the shadows
don't scream
the nightmare shall
rip through your dream

count the shadows
don't be afraid
they count on you
to see what darkness they've made
