Lyrics

To most perhaps
It would appear
I live a calm
And normal life

I've managed to
Conceal the fear
That's lately brought me
So much strife

In senseless times
When light is fading
I sense with growing fright

A desperate raging
Beast is waiting
Somewhere in the night

It seeks my mind
To take control
And foist on me
Its violent change

It clutches at my very soul
To twist it into
Something strange

And every day
Its awesome power
Gets harder to ignore

And in the hopeless
Twilight hours
It scratches at my door

For me the time
Is growing shorter
Within the demon's
Tightening grip

My reason falls
Into disorder
My rationale begins to slip
The clinging hope

For some solution
The peace of mind
I thought I'd found

Will fade away
Like most illusions
When the monster
Strikes me down
