Gothica

In a forest dark and deep
Night has fallen, but I’m too afraid
Too afraid to sleep
I close my eyes and then I see
The light come shining down
Gothica
In a house upon a hill
Something stirring on the stairway
Disturbs my senses, still
I take a candle and I climb
The stairs begin to shake
Gothica
Everybody needs a refuge from the ordinary
Everybody needs to breathe
It’s a necessary dip into the unknown ocean
It’s essential fantasy
Gothica
It’s a place I cannot see
Only sometimes, when I recollect my dreams
Gothica
In a howling hurricane
Hidden by a rock, I shelter
From the storm, the driving rain
Pounds a message in my ear
I have nothing more to fear
And the stranger at the gate seems to know my name
Everybody needs a refuge from the ordinary
Everybody needs to breathe
It’s a necessary dip into the unknown ocean
It's a essential fantasy
It’s a necessary dip into the unknown ocean
It's a essential fantasy
