"Darkened
Thief"
Such a silent killer you are
You throw the sand so close to my eyes
Yet, you miss with darkened intentions
Waiting silently for my soul to die
I've faced you before
I live to tell the tale
Your tranquilizing grip
Around me fails
You can hold sleep out of reach
And bring fatigue to my bones
But, say I to you
My flesh will never be stone
Those who take your hand
And walk away with you
Were simply meant to fail
And fade from my view
Bring all you have to offer
Everything that fills your bag of tricks
Can never induce my downfall
I hold a dead end to all your tricks
