(Song lyrics from Epiphany, Nightcastle by Tran Siberian Orchestra.)
The darkness holds many secrets
Tales have been spun of evil
Searching for lost souls to feed their lust
I say be gone
For no evil lurks in the darkness
Only superstitious fools seeking
To control that which they do not
Understand
As I walk this path
Through mist and trees
As sound travels from twig and branch
Sight hindered by darken night
My mind wanders to tales of woe
Of fairies and pixies playing tricks
To lure the unsuspecting
To deaths veiled door
Suddenly those I scoffed
As charlatans and liars
Who warn us
Beware of nights promised delights
With beginning dread
Words become true
When eyes so bright
Surround me whole
And darkness descends tenfold
I realize then there is no hope
For prayers and song will not bring
Valiant knight to save my soul
I am lost
My story’s end unfolds
