I live within a darkness
Unknown to the light
I find comfort in the land
Of nightmares and frights
For I’m a creature of destruction
Evil is all I know
My heart is cold and baron
I’ve always been alone
So what do you expect
By beating down my door
Love is a mystery to me
Much like white sandy shores
I don’t know how to act
Within the presence of your grace
All I know is darkness
All I breathe is hate
But I’m beginning to feel different
A slow steady change within
My anger is settling
My heart begins the beat again
