In the Dark
In the dark.
Which way to go?
In the dark.
Does anyone know?
In the dark.
Through the trees.
In the dark.
The coldest breeze.
I look above.
I take a glance.
I look above.
I see a chance.
I look above.
I see two ways.
I look above.
I see hard days.
I start to run.
I cannot swallow.
I start to run.
Will they follow?
I start to run.
My heart beats fast.
I start to run.
Will this last?
The trees are falling.
I hear them calling.
The trees are burning.
My stomach is turning.
The trees whisper
Are they with her?
The trees bark.
In the dark.
