Even the walls are shaking her down And breaking her mind with unsettling sounds Courage collapses and uncertainty reigns She tries to summon the strength to thunder through it again Sinks her teeth into a terrible rage And plunges her fists into the darkness She's losing her ground in the war being waged The war being waged by madness She's fallen prey to the shadows Caught in the haze where the sadness stays Maybe the ground will open Surely the earth will swallow her whole One cracking blow to the temple Doubt takes hold, she's lost control Fires persists on the corridor walls She jumps at the sound of each footfall Long and dark is the journey ahead At home her body turns and tosses in bed Often she thinks she hears somebody new But it's just her own blood rushing in her ears The force inside her that steers her ahead Toward the beast in the darkness The truth she seeks in the shadows Halfway between being alive and dead The devil is out for her tonight Under the moonlit sky above She's frozen in fear for lord and fright And in her bloodshot eyes She sees the moon on high Pale and paralyzed So bright and as white as the bones of a dove.
