Out Of The Darkness

(album: Other Rivers - 2014)

I saw you in my mind when I was younger
And I grew older, and I saw you still
You'd stay close to me sometimes behind my shoulder
When I was weary, trouble would come
In my last defense you tried to warn me
I did not know you, you were a demon to me
Your presence, it was a fear that lived inside me
It grew around me, then you would appear

Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see

I was dead and I was dying at your doorway
I did not see you, you did not appear
And between the years, I might have come to know you
But I don't own you, that much is clear

Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see

I was afraid someday you'd return
Unchanged at my door as you'd once been before
The flutter of fortune or a bringer of gloom
Out of the darkness and into my room
