Escape From The Dark Side

Running fast but getting nowhere
Faster still, are they gaining, catching me up
Oh my life, my stamina is fading
Shadows cowled, robes are flailing as they chase
As I turn, I see out of focus
Red eyes staring, bared out teeth with juices drooling
I must run faster so much faster
But my life's blood draining, slowing me like running in mud
I feel a dread, ooh a terrible dread
Can I survive, can I outrun these dreadful beasts so wild
I must believe, but it is so hard
I'm scared out of my wits, I'm fighting to live, I have to win
I hear the moans the banshee screams
The gnashing of teeth and the unholy wails, they are on my tail
If only a gun, a weapon of some kind
I could have in my grasp and shoot the phantoms dead
No gun is found, no weapon around
I'd kill these bastards if I had some rounds and a gun as well
But no, I have nothing that can save me today
Oh Lord, they are coming close, nearer still, help me
Thank you Lord I wake up now
The nightmare's gone, I'm sweating so, but yes I live until tonight
When sweet dreams go and the dark side comes
To attack again and take my soul but never will I lie down dead
For the darkest soul who ever lived
