Darkness Falls


Darkness falls around the world,
At night he comes into the streets,
He comes to life from night to night,
Darkness creeps and glides from day to night.

Darkness comes in every shape and form,
When it comes you better be warned,
You will not understand that death has come,
From the grave to consume your blood.

He slips he slides into your room,
You cannot hide from your doom,
He moans more and more,
As he drips your blood on to the old wood floor.

Darkness falls around the world,
Will you be next or will you be warned,
Do not look upon his innocent face,
Or in death will you meet your fate.

Watch now as he comes to pass,
As he slips from crack to crack,
Keep a cross close to heart,
To defend you from death's Front Door.

Darkness falls around the world,
Come at night to watch the earth,
He drains your life while you sleep,
Darkness creeps and glides from day to week.
