Out of the darkness

I saw you in my mind when I was younger
And I grew older and I say you still
You'd stay close to me sometimes behind my shoulder
When I was weary, troubled gun

In my last defense you tried to warn me
I did not know you, you were a demon to me
Your presence here was a fear that lived inside me
That grew around me then you would appear

Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see

I was dead and I was dying at your doorway
I did not see you, you did not appear
And between the years I might have come to know you
But I don't own you, that much is clear

Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see

I was afraid someday you'd return
And changed at my door as you'd once been before
The flutter of fortune, the bringer of gloom
Out of the darkness and into my room

I was afraid someday you'd return
And changed at my door as you'd once been before
The flutter of fortune, the bringer of gloom
Out of the darkness
