Beware the shadows
The dark of old
Beware my children of the dark and cold
For therein lies
An ancient fear
Without a light
Your end is clear
A hungry beast
Your flesh awaits
A morbid feast
A dismal fate
In an instant you are gone
Your warning calls to you in song
Know your instincts
They are your friend
Beware the dark
Beware the end
Without a sound
Without a sight
Your end is found
In the lonely night
It is not just in your head
It is not just in your mind
Believe me when I cry
It is under your bed
In the blackened corners
In the alley ways
These quiet mourners
Learned this the hard way
The shadows move
And without a sound
Can bring an empire
To the ground
With a careless step
Or a lazy eye
All your companions
Will wave you goodbye
Beware the dark
My little child
Beware the black
And count the shadows
Beware the dark
Beware the cold
For just as in the tales of old
The shadows will come and eat you up
The shadows will come and on you sup
