Shadows of Doubt
In the blink of an eye you might suddenly
feel
that your worlds been invaded by all things unreal.
They
slink up behind you and don't make a sound,
But there's nothing
to fear if you don't turn around
In the pit of your stomach
there rests a device
That can calculate how fast your blood turns
to ice.
It measures the temperature nightmares will start
then
divides it by beats of a terrified heart.
At the foot of your
bed lies like a blanket of fear.
You might think it's quite safe
but it's always quite near
when its steel wooden quilting wraps
around you one night.
You will learn that it's not only bed
bugs that bite.
At the top of the stairs there's an attic I've
found
That remained even after the house was torn down
And
it's filled with the cobwebs of lonely old dreams
Which have grown
into nightmares that swing from the beams.
At the mouth of a
cave lies a shadow of doubt.
If you dare to go in will you ever
come out?
Are there creatures who lurk where its too dim to
see?
Can you hear when they move? Are you scared yet?(Who me?)
At
the edge of the earth flows a river of fear
and it pours into
space day by day, year by year.
As you shoot the cold rapids and
stray far from shore,
Do you notice your life boat has just lost
an oar?
In the eye of the storm stands a ghost of a chance
and
around her all spirits are destined to dance.
She turns a
cold gaze toward an unlucky few.
Don't dare to look now for
she's staring at you.
At the end of the world stands a
giant steel door
and what lies beyond it nobody's quite sure.
Is
it crystal clear heavens or nights blazing hot?
And which is more
frightening knowing or not?
In the face of the future we fly
on our own
Hoping our wings never turn into stone.
If you fall
from that sky to the sea will you drown?
Well there's no need to
worry unless you look down.
At the back of your mind there's
a hole open wide
Where the darkness is creeping in from the
out side.
You can light rows of candles to cast the dark out,
But
its always there hiding.....
Shadows of doubt.
