Darkness Within

A million voices call out to me
From within the dark of night
horrid screams deafen me
My heart shakes with fright
I know better than to listen
To the demons I try to conquer
I feel my limbs start to stiffen
Feel the evil growing stronger
Yet somehow I cannot resist
The urge to lend my ear
As all the voices persist
My fear starts to disappear
I know friends will shed
Endless mournful tears
As they gather beside my bed
Along side family and peers
But my fate has been written
Forged in blood and stone
Destined to walk this earth
Blade in hand and all alone
Embrace the evil deep inside
Set free the self I tried to hide
Time for me to open my eyes
Finally drop the disguise...
