Demons in the Mist

The moon hangs low like a silver blade

Over the ruins where our promises faded

Cold wind hums

the shape of your name While the dark gathers around the flame

I hear

footsteps beneath the stone A thousand voices calling me home The night

has teeth, the dark has eyes And something waits where the daylight

dies

There are demons in the mist tonight

Dancing just beyond the dying light

Death is knocking at the door again

Calling every ghost its oldest friend

I keep running, but the road won’t shift

Lost inside this breathless mist

Black roses bloom where the graves lie deep

Guarding the secrets the earth will keep Your photograph turns to dust

in my hand

Like a last goodbye

I don’t understand

The bells ring out from an empty tower

Counting down the final hour I taste the rain,

I feel the frost

Every step

reminds me what we lost

If I fall, let the darkness know

I was more than the scars I showed

If the demons claim my soul

Let them hear me scream,

“I’m still whole!”

There are demons in the mist tonight

But I’m striking matches in the night

Death may whisper, death may call

I won’t bow beneath it all

Through the smoke, through every rift

I’ll find my way

beyond the mist

The moon fades pale,

the shadows lift

No more demons in the mist Death

retreats beyond the dawn And I keep walking,

I keep on

(and I keep on,

yeah)
