The Darkness

I sit in the semi-dark
I gaze at the pre-dawn light
not seeing it's glow

My vision is filled with
a darkness I can not ignore

A darkness that spreads
across the world engulfing
all in it's path

I see an evil more evil
than evil it is old
as time itself

I am filled with dread
so deep so dark so cold

This is Evil incarnate
blacker than the darkest
night ever known

It makes me cold
cold to my heart
I feel a deep dread

I feel in my hands
my blades heavy and cold

My gaze falls upon them
Their blades gleam
in the pre-dawn light

This Evil I will fight!
I will drive back the night!
Even if I must fight it alone.
