[hometext] => there's much to be inferred from a fear of the dark
[bodytext] => Please don’t go, Slipping quietly into the night No one knows as I do The silent threshold, Will you return? Will you awaken for me When the shadows come grasping? Will you protect me When I hold a vanishing light? Dark creeping fingers Brushing along the sides An itch, a twitch, a whip around A whisper, my name Always in the shadows A hand behind my back To check for daggers sure Because you aren’t here Your eye has closed to me Awaken, there’s still time Tick tock, the witching hour But oh I don’t believe Only a theist in darkness, But where is my shiny armored god? Is he sleeping too? With dawn, a reawaken of my soul But for now unprotected A castle siege, thrones asleep As castle watch alerting nightly stones But who will protect me, The stone who cannot sleep Who fears the darkness creeps Something happens When you’re not looking Eyes shut, you are protected But wide awake, Who will protect me?
