Into The Night

When did they come and where did they go

My thoughts, pure and white like snow

Here come the long and dark night of my soul

And now I'm all alone

There is a deep dark hole now where my love once used to be

She set me free

This is the long and dark night of my soul

Yes, now I'm all alone

So I've erased myself, replaced my mind, it's a clean slate

All I've felt and everyone I've ever known is gone

I feel a need to leave, just run straight into nowhere

There's nothing left in this town but self loathing

You think you know, think you can see who I am?

Don't colour my sleeves with your narrow mind

I'm more than my hair or the clothes that I wear

I feel the need for a new way of thinking

So I surrender myself to me

When did they come...

Lost in the approaching night

Traces of summer, still warm and breezy

As the sun sets over the forest

The woods are dark, cold and damp

I'm alone in here, and though I can't feel the presence of man

I feel something staring

I don't think the animals will harm me

But I know they know I'm here

To them I am the predator

It's man they've learned to fear

Suddenly a gun shot, then another

Someone is aiming at me

I throw myself behind a big old pine

My heart is beating like crazy

I can sense The Hunter, he's behind me

I'm a deer in his eyes

I start to run and hear him fire once more

Maybe I'm too far away...
