Dark Whisperer


Dark Whisperer, Dark Whisperer, hush up For I am terrified I can no longer endure Yet another night Of the taunting, and the pain No longer can I stifle you And it's driving me insane. Midnight has struck And still you are here, I've run out of luck And growing, is the fear. Dark Whisperer, Dark Whisperer, leave me be! Yet another night must I weep Not quite alone, As I struggle to fall asleep. Slowly you are gaining control And I am not the same, No one there, so I can be consoled. Whisperer, you demon you, Insanity has taken its toll So now my resistance is few, Lessened, no longer whole. Dark Whisperer, Dark Whisperer, try as I might You still manage to linger in my ear You've won now, For my sanity has disappeared. I'm yours now, and I shall obey Yielding, Forever shall I stay. Whisperer, have I lost my mind? For I am lying in a pool of red Leaving my old life behind, For it's what your whispers have said. Beating, and with a last thud, Wide-eyed, I lie here In my own dark pool of blood.
