In the night’s shadow As my frame seeks slumber Burning eyes of wolves glow Ready to shred me asunder! Thoughts lying dormant in the day Blow up dark and ugly Inside they warm up hell-bent to slay My diurnal angel of decency! Evil visions of wanton desire they breed Apparitions of depravity grimed and mean Awakening in me the vermin of greed Goading me to lust for the forbidden! A good part of night I grapple with them The enemies within me in disguise Knowing in my heart if I lose this game The demons would have a good feast at sunrise!
