Fear Of The Dark

Is it the silence gives you fright?
Is it the stillness of the night
That makes you so afraid?

Is it the scamper of the rat?
Is it the flutter of the bat
That makes you so afraid?

Pull the covers, hold them firm
Still you lie awake
Grip the stick that's by your side
Try to rest as best you can

Is it the darkness that you fear?
Is it the lack of light my dear
That makes you so afraid

Is it the sharpness of my blade
Because my love you have betrayed
That makes you so afraid?

Lie awake and dream no more
Or dare to sleep, as I implore?
I'll have your heart this time

When your immortal love returns
Not love this time, it's hate that burns
I'll have your heart for sure
