a disease a wrenching bane Adverse twisted minds Grip of fear within the flesh Is eating you alive Ruins the lives of innocent A fitful waking sleep Sadly the world it shakes it’s head And begins to weep And now to sleep perchance to dream But you cannot hear your cries Memories run like rivers flow Blackened waters of the mind Phobias, fear of crypts and caves Oblivion denied All you see such a lie to behold Born through a cradle of time Stomach wrenching, sweat runs cold Pointless nightmares of bizarre and sublime Summon them now, arise your fears Release the pain or drown Acidic noise like knell of doom Darkened passages revealing gloom Nightfear Creeping on the skulls of man Softly at the dawn Sharpened edge of nightfears blade Pray you now for rising morn Divine faith a childish prayer Drilled into you from birth Yet nightfear continues on Returning with a curse Now the fortitudes in light But darkened eve draws near Dawning on a ghoulish thought The night belongs to fear
