"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
