Darkness invades my sight
The day has been put to rest by the night
Darkness is present… there’s no way to fight
I still find my self running… despite
Uncertainty frightens… an intruder is near
I can hear its footsteps… I can hear them clear
Darkness is present… sight is destroyed
But my third eye sees it is far from void
Running… running… I try to escape
Not realizing they closed the gate
Uncertainty frightens… an intruder is here
I can see its footsteps… I can see them clear
The faster they approach… the quicker I evade
Spellbound… trapped… alone… afraid
Running… running… I tried to escape
Not realizing I was running from fate
