The mistress of darkness

With her sultry moods

Holds me captive far down here

In the cold of the night

I’m gasping for breath

I’m begging for help

But she won’t let me go

She keeps me here waiting

Sometimes she’s happy

And the sky starts to bright

But mostly she’s angry

Her darkness cuts like a knife

I remember falling here

And fighting all through my life

But I’ve been here so long now

I let her caress me

And someday she’ll free me

And I’ll see the light

The warmth on my skin

The end of an endless night

But for now I will lay here

Face pressed to the ground

And the coldness it holds me

And I can not fight

The mistress of darkness

With her sultry moods

Holds me captive far down here

In the cold of the night
