In the shadows I am there
I am the never-ending fear
The nameless destruction
That follows you everywhere
Hounding you silently
Wearing you down
I am what was lost
What will never be found
Black as sable
Ebony in the night
Always just behind you
Just out of sight
Can you feel my breath upon your neck?
So soft and warm like a lovers kiss
Marble white fangs glitter in the dark
Lusting for the forbidden taste
Your blood is an aphrodisiac
The scent of your fear
My high
Always though I let you go
Just before the bite
Off I go again
To fade into the night
In the shadows I am there
I am the never-ending fear
I am the nameless destruction
That follows you everywhere
Your anger your strife
Your insecurities your pain
Your worthless life
I am the ebony darkness
The creature that stalks you through the night
Carefully hidden
Just out of sight
But always there
A reminder of the things you've done
Things I wont let you forget
I reside deep inside your chest
A beating red device
Shadow of a conscious
That wont be put to rest
In the shadows I am there
I am the never-ending fear
I am the nameless destruction
That follows you everywhere
You can't escape although you try
I am the simple question
Why?
