Out of the Darkness

I saw you in my mind when I was younger
And I grew older
and I saw you still
You'd stay close to me sometimes behind my shoulder
When I was weary
Trouble would come
In my last defense you tried to warn me
I did not know you
You were a demon to me
Your presence it was a fear that lived inside me
It 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
Unchanged at my door as you'd once been before
A threader of fortune or a bringer of gloom
Out of the darkness and into my room
I was afraid someday you'd return
Unchanged at my door as you'd once been before
A threader of fortune or a bringer of gloom
Out of the darkness and into my room
