What Lurks In Shadows

Can you hear the screaming in the distance?
Nobody deserves that fate
And if you get real close and listen

I swear that you can hear them say
"Let us out, let us free
Trapped in our agony"
One more week of nightmares
I am haunted, not scared
On my soul that I swear

Do you fear what lurks in the darkness?
An agonizing tomb made by the heartless
Buried in memories all lost to time
Are the souls abandoned by a monstrous crime
But I don't fear what lurks in the darkness
Not this time

What lurks in shadows is easily mistaken
Call me a fool, I guess
I cannot deny the pounding in my chest
Something isn't right here
And it's no trick of the light, dear
I am thoroughly shaken

Do you fear what lurks in the darkness?
An agonizing tomb made by the heartless
Buried in memories all lost to time
Are the souls abandoned by a monstrous crime
But I don't fear what lurks in the darkness
Not this time

Do you fear what lurks in the darkness?
Do you fear what lurks in the darkness?
