Run into the Dark

Running through the forest
in the dead of night.
Nowhere to go,
nothing to see.

Stricken, horrified, hopeless.
Just lay down and pray
for god no longer there.

Run into the dark
From the monsters
you have seen.
Stalking through the shadows
You cannot hide.
They will find you.

Scream for help but
nothing ever comes.
Cast into the darkness
to fend for yourself
With nothing but the
soul stealing hands you
Were given as sins.

They can smell your
Fear pouring off your face.
Taste it in the
Dirty blood you have shed.

Run into the dark
From the monsters
you have seen.
Stalking through the shadows
You cannot hide.
They will find you.

Slowing down to
Except the faith you
couldn’t run from.
Giving up is all
You know how to do.
Lie down and die
In the dirt
where you belong.

Run into the dark
From the monsters
you have seen.
Stalking through the shadows
You cannot hide.
They will find you.

They will hunt
To the end and won’t
Stop until your heart
Has ceased to beat.
