Darkness is an evil
Bad secrets hide in dark
Evil hides in darkness
Children hate the dark nights
They pray and hope for lights
Where are candles burning?
They know it will get you
And sense it's coming soon;
What it is they don't know
But feel and dread the doom
That hangs around their room.
Where do the flames flicker?
The Child wants to be safe
There's something not quite right
A scream, where did she go?
My friend, I do not know
Who blew out the candles?
