There's a disease a wrenching bane

Adverse twisted minds

Grip of fear within the flesh

Is eating you alive

Ruins the lives of innocent

A fitful waking sleep

Sadly the world it shakes it's head

And begins to weep



And now to sleep perchance to dream

But you cannot hear your cries

Memories run like rivers flow

Blackened waters of the mind

Phobias, fear of crypts and caves

Oblivion denied



All you see such a lie to behold

Born through a cradle of time

Stomach wrenching, sweat runs cold

Pointless nightmares of bizarre and sublime



Summon them now, arise your fears

Release the pain or drown

Acidic noise like knell of doom

Darkened passages revealing gloom



Nightfear



Creeping on the skulls of man

Softly at the dawn

Sharpened edge of nightfears blade

Pray you now for rising morn



Divine faith a childish prayer

Drilled into you from birth

Yet nightfear continues on

Returning with a curse

Now the fortitudes in light

But darkened eve draws near

Dawning on a ghoulish thought

The night belongs to fear
