Demons in your head, monsters under your bed Hiding in the shadows, a web of awe and wonder Fixating to descend into that abyss,   yet so terrible to fall in bliss The calls of sirens draw you near The wicked will laugh in dark ecstasy, ah blight-- try if you may, take flight For in sorrow you hang your head, by your neck Beckoned by the gallows the realm of your heart gone fallow Freedom is just beyond you finger tips The choice of life is yours to steal escape this ordeal Let the darkness perish for your victory And as the siren songs drown you in a blanket of pain resurface with strength and rise again Call your voice to smite the lies of the deceptive Rise swift to the thunder of a living heart courage and victory are never far apart Hold breath fast in your chest never to be freed Until your last day, to offer the world a parting grace with last of life's embrace. The succubus withers with none on whom to feast And the dogs howl unfed by the spoils of war the battle done and no more Flee now to fleeting peace as you may, just remember: How the wicked fought before evil crumbled away and the good suffered in dismay. But sorrow prevailed, yet after such dark toil All was not so fair in war and in love but reprise, there was not total void of And all that seemed left, perhaps bereft, were shadows of the lost and survivors most deft-- Though victory it was no matter the cause And light shall reign again, Forevermore.

Forevermore
Demons in your head, monsters under your bed Hiding in the shadows, a web of awe and wonder Fixating to descend into that abyss,   yet so terrible to fall in bliss The calls of sirens draw you near The wicked will laugh in dark ecstasy, ah blight-- try if you may, take flight For in sorrow you hang your head, by your neck Beckoned by the gallows the realm of your heart gone fallow Freedom is just beyond you finger tips The choice of life is yours to steal escape this ordeal Let the darkness perish for your victory And as the siren songs drown you in a blanket of pain resurface with strength and rise again Call your voice to smite the lies of the deceptive Rise swift to the thunder of a living heart courage and victory are never far apart Hold breath fast in your chest never to be freed Until your last day, to offer the world a parting grace with last of life's embrace. The succubus withers with none on whom to feast And the dogs howl unfed by the spoils of war the battle done and no more Flee now to fleeting peace as you may, just remember: How the wicked fought before evil crumbled away and the good suffered in dismay. But sorrow prevailed, yet after such dark toil All was not so fair in war and in love but reprise, there was not total void of And all that seemed left, perhaps bereft, were shadows of the lost and survivors most deft-- Though victory it was no matter the cause And light shall reign again, Forevermore.
