No moonlight's gleam through yonder pane

Just shadows deep where we do lie

Come on down, embrace the pain

Ragged claws reach out nearby

 

You hear me call from the second story

My voice a whisper, cold and thin

I feel your fear—its bitter quarry

Draw near and let the night begin

 

The dark conceals what eyes can’t see

A presence, hidden yet so near

It hungers deep, relentlessly

To taste the sweat of human fear

 

Come, descend, where shadows dance

Where light dares not to tread its path

In the void, take your last chance

To know what lies in darkness' wrath

 

There’s no escape from what you’ll find

No refuge from the creeping dread

For in the night, your soul I’ll bind

And feast upon your fear till dead

 

So come, surrender, let me in

Let terror’s claws embrace you tight

For in the darkness, it begins

Where hope fades out, and falls to night
