[spoken-word poetry] Dark clouds gather, the storm is creeping, Panic and dread, the shadows are leaping, A bell tolls loud, echoes of despair, Midnight’s weep, breathe the frozen air. Footsteps whisper, ghosts in the night, Every loud thud, like a heart takes flight, Lost in the labyrinth of my own mind, Fearing the secrets that I might find. [Chorus] I’m scared of the night, can’t escape the fright, Lord in the heavens, hold me tight. I’m scared of the night, when shadows ignite, Screams in the silence, no wrong or right. [spoken-word poetry] Prayers on my lips, trembling like leaves, Haunting the hours, the mind deceives, Time moves slow in this endless maze, Night feels alive, caught in a haze. Lord, I cry, with every howl in the dark, This pain I’m carrying, a dimming spark, Each moment stretches, a tightening grip, Life’s a cruel game and I’m losing my grip. [Chorus] I’m scared of the night, can’t escape the fright, Lord in the heavens, hold me tight. I’m scared of the night, when shadows ignite, Screams in the silence, no wrong or right. [spoken-word poetry] Oh, night so vast, cradle my pain, Burdened by sorrow, can’t it just wane? Calvary whispers in the depths of my heart, Wrap me in comfort, don’t tear me apart. Night, give me strength, let me breathe free, In the dark corners, help me see. [Final Chorus] I’m scared of the night, can’t escape the fright, Lord in the heavens, hold me tight. I’m scared of the night, when shadows ignite, Screams in the silence, no wrong or right.
