dark phantasy

avoid the shadows where the dark ones hide
the forests hold the monsters from your dreams
if you're caught out at night beware the devil's ride

a host of dangers fill this world where we abide
reality is not the straightforward thing it seems
avoid the shadows where the dark ones hide

the ones who keep their faces covered are not snide
if you looked on them we'd not calm your screams
if you're caught out at night beware the devil's ride

your blood would freeze if i spoke of the things i've spied
unless bright sunlight cleansed all with its beams
avoid the shadows where the dark ones hide

you know of the dead lady i heard the words she cried
now i won't go by that dread place even while light gleams
if you're caught out at night beware the devil's ride

there's none who can be trusted for even i have lied
from under us there rise most noisome steams
avoid the shadows where the dark ones hide
if you're caught out at night beware the devil's ride
