Lights are out
Voices have faded away and the night has slowly flowed in
Around the dark waters are yet still,
But hear them shiver in the distance -
Shivers that herald the tempest to come
Alone, it's all that I am and anywhere I ever will be
A lost soul, a broken heart, a lonely wayfarer in the dark
And no one but me knows what there can be
From the swamp, an evil chill rises to grasp on the throat
Whispering trees are plotting in the fog
The bitter air poisons the tongue: here they come
Hushing, hushing serpents are the first,
But soon comes the rest of the horde
Circling, circling always nearer -
Circling my fragile little boat
And I know there is still more to come,
After the beasts that b*** and scratch and tear the flesh apart,
After the savages that grind the bones to dust,
After the fiends, after the devils that set the mind ablaze
Hushing, hushing serpents are the first,
But soon comes the rest of the horde
Circling, circling always nearer -
Circling my fragile little boat
