It Never Sleeps

Now it wakes Now it sees It whispers in the night And I hear And I know I'll feel the ugly bite Despairing All is lost I feel the thing arrive It hunts me I am run down by a demon and eaten alive Every night in the dark I hear it calling me Far at first, nearer then Coming to bare its teeth Then it's here at the door And it picks at the lock And it pounds and it pounds With a KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK And it's night after night After day after night And it never goes away Until you hit the lights The weapon of "knowing" We'll need where we are going I will not desert you And then it can not hurt you It's ugly. I've seen it. I've felt the weight beneath it. And now we lift it away. The darkness resides deep inside We choose to stand up and fight The weapon of "knowing" We'll need where we are going I fight here beside you If you fall, then, so I do So ugly. I hate it. Hand in hand we will break it. And now we send it away.
