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
