Darkness Songtext / Lyric

Once upon a dark autumn night

I was so very far from sleep

I longed to walk beneath the stars

Into the wood so dark and deep-



Neither myth nor fairy tale

could keep me from the path to the maze

But eyes upon me I could feel

Hidden in the shadows watching always-



Something in the darkness pulled me deeper

Something in the madness eased my mind

Was I awake or was I dreaming

Cut the strings that bind me to mankind-






Once while I was sitting in my room

One cold and silver winter's day

I could hear another worldly call

try as I might I could'nt turn away-



Something in the darkness pulled me deeper

Something in the madness eased my mind

Was I awake or was I dreaming

Cut the strings that bind me to mankind----



Somewhere in between the moss and the stone

The wind and the wood became my home

I layed myself down upon the green

when the ivy overgrew I could never leave--



Something in the darkness pulled me deeper

Something in the madness eased my mind

Was I awake or was I dreaming

Cut the strings that bind me to mankind



Something in the darkness pulled me deeper

Something in the madness eased my mind

Was I awake or was I dreaming

Cut the strings that bind me---to mankind------
