When Darkness Calls

Deep within the shadows
Where the torment likes to hide
A fountainhead of agony
That never will subside
Always, it needless
A constant source of strain
A fire that rages
And cannot be contained
You wish for one moment of peace
The sun won’t reach
Behind these walls
No one is safe
When darkness calls
Losing strength
As your spirit falls
Cling tight to the light
When darkness calls
Inaudible to others
Yet it’s howling in your ear
Sometimes the murmur is so strong
It’s all that you can hear
Tired and desperate
Feeling so unsure
Your grip is slipping
But you can endure
Hold on with the last of your might
The sun won’t reach
Behind these walls
No one is safe
When darkness calls
Losing strength
As your spirit falls
Cling tight to the light
When darkness calls
