Fear me, the darkness
Deep in your heart
Slumbering in your soul
Waiting to get out
Longing to reach out
And touch another being
Tainted to the touch
Brushed by a poisonous
Creation lumbering
For so long in the depths
Of your love, corruption
Seeping out
Leaking out
Of the cage
That has held so long
Darkness decaying
All around you is falling
Melting away with rot
The air is riddled with
The stench of fear
All around you is seared
By the touch of the darkness
That you let out
Plants wither, cattle corpses rot
Can you handle the darkness
The primordial fear you wrought
Changing the land, the people
They suffer until you say not.
