Eerie and Dark, Cold against the night sky
This place I must now call my home...
Lonely and silent, it shuns even time,
Just to stand here completely alone...

Do I dare to come in, with my lighthearted steps?
Should I cower in fear of its wrath?
How I shiver as gently this candle I light
Guide my steps, let this be the right path...

Shadows dance as I move forward into the halls
The winds warn me please to beware...
My steps echo loudly against the dark walls
I hear breathing.."Is somebody there??"

A blast of cold air answers me in a rush!
I gasp as I fall on the floor..
My fingers fall into the tiniest hole,
Before my eyes, opens a door...

Through its frame I must step, in the black of the dark
My candle the weakest of flames..
Down the steps laid before me, "Shhhh, be still!" my heart,
Down into..."Did I hear my name??"

Inside the mist creeping up on the stairs,
Swirls the echoing whisper I hear
I am chilled to the bone, I can feel something stare,
My mind races as something draws near...

I feel faint as I cling to the wall so alive,
With the damp, and the dark, and the night.
"Keep me safe?", O dark stones from whatever does come,
Cold wind comes to blow out my light....

One last step and I'm here-the mist covers my feet
I can see by the light of the moon..
Soft footsteps approach.. now I see a dark form,
Could this place that I'm in be a tomb?

I turn and I'm faced with the greenest of eyes,
A stranger who's dressed all in black..
He looks through me, my candle falls down to the floor,
With one touch, I can never go back.......

Familiar, the cape that has closed all around me,
As I'm stretched backward over his arm..
Familiar, the fire that now runs through my veins,
I will ever live here in his charms..

I cling ever tightly as I'm growing weak..
In a swoon I sink down to the floor..
Lifted up, in a pair of the strongest of arms..
In these arms I will stay......
...Evermore....
