1. IN THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT

Preparing for rest
As I lay in this bed
A rest I will not be granted on this night
Tensions rise
In these hours of darkness
My soul is putting up a fight
The demons dwell
In my mind and presence
I know that something isn't right
Insomnia ensues
Fear grips my soul
I know I won't sleep on this night
In the absence of light
I will not rest tonight
Sinister thoughts aborning
Oh how I long for the morning
On my fears they feed
Yeshua save me
I chose a godless path
I must avoid God's wrath
Crawling in the dark
On a path of terror they embark
The night cripples me with fear
I know that Satan's demons are near
Hours awake since I went to bed
The presence of evil fills me with dread
The more that I dwell on what's in here with me
The more and more into my fears they will feed
At last now I accept his light
Scattering the demons that gave me fright
Perhaps I wasn't always right
A peaceful way to end this night
