Darkness creeps
Silence sleeps
Eerie sound
Dead god drowned
Ghostly glow
Seen below
Obscure stars
Aide-mémoires
Mournful song
Night feels wrong
Evil kin
Grows within
Anguished air
Of despair
Souls entwine
By design
Cold alone
Doubt has grown
Linger near
Wreathed in fear
Madness moulds
Dread unfolds
Bars of steel
Have appeal
