I will no longer run from that I can defeat

the lighting flashes
the thunder crashes
the wind blows the curtains aside
blinding flashes of light
make shadows on the wall
fear turns my blood to ice
I wonder if my demon out there tonight

anger surges to the surfaces
fear makes me mad at myself
as I tremble in the dark
It was long ago an far away
a different place an time
I've killed real enemies in my time
so why do I let Him in my mind

a childhood tragedy become's a
living nightmare that comes back
in the darkness preying on the mind
but tonight I'll sit here blowing smoke rings
in the dark and I'll invite My demon in
for I will no longer run from that I can defeat

the lighting flashes
the thunder crashes
the wind blows the curtains aside
