The Night's Embrace

(Verse 1) She lies in the stillness, so calm and so deep, The window is open, she drifts into sleep. A gentle breeze whispers through the air, But with it, a presence, ancient and rare. It moves in the shadows, a creature of night, With eyes full of darkness, devoid of all light. It creeps closer, silent and slow, A weight on her chest, a cold, steady foe. (Chorus) The nightmare's here, it’s taking its toll, A creature of shadows is crawling her soul. Her dreams turn to madness, she can't break free, Trapped in a prison, she can’t even see. Only the morning, the sun’s first ray, Can save her from madness, light her way. (Verse 2) Her breath is unsteady, her heart starts to race, The nightmare surrounds her, it’s filling the space. It presses her chest, the weight’s hard to bear, Her mind is unraveling, lost in despair. Her dreams twist and turn, they scream in her ears, The ancient one whispers, feeding her fears. Her vision distorts, she can’t find her way out, The darkness is swallowing, making no sound. (Chorus) The nightmare's here, it’s taking its toll, A creature of shadows is crawling her soul. Her dreams turn to madness, she can't break free, Trapped in a prison, she can’t even see. Only the morning, the sun’s first ray, Can save her from madness, light her way. (Bridge) But just before she’s lost to the night, A warmth starts to rise, a flicker of light. The first golden rays, they break through the dark, A sign of salvation, a hopeful spark. (Chorus) The nightmare’s gone, the light’s here to stay, Her mind finds its peace with the break of the day. The creature retreats, the terror subsides, She’s free from the shadows, with the sun at her side. Only the morning, the sun’s first ray, Can save her from madness, light her way. (Outro) And with the light, she breathes again, The sun will chase away the pain. But in her dreams, the darkness waits, For when the night returns… it waits.
