Darkness

Dm     C    Dm
Dm     C  Am   Dm

[Verse]
Dm
Once upon a dark autumn night
C                      Dm
I was so very far from sleep
Dm
I longed to walk beneath the stars
C        Am               Dm
Into the wood so dark and deep

[Verse]
Dm
Neither myth nor faerie tale
      C                            Dm
Could keep me from the path to the maze
Dm
But eyes upon me I could feel
C             Am                Dm
Hidden in the shadows watching always

[Chorus]
                 C                  Dm
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper
                 C      Am        Dm
Something in the madness eased my mind
       C             Dm
Was I awake or was I dreaming?
                     C      Am   Dm        Bb   A
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind

[Verse]
Dm
Once while I was sitting in my room
    C                        Dm
One cold and silver winter's day
Dm
I could hear an otherworldly call
C        Am                      Dm
Try as I might, I couldn't turn away

[Chorus]
                 C                  Dm
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper
                 C      Am        Dm
Something in the madness eased my mind
       C             Dm
Was I awake or was I dreaming?
                     C      Am   Dm
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind

[Instrumental]
Dm     C    Dm
Dm     C  Am   Dm
Dm  C    Dm    C  Am  Dm
Dm  C    Dm    C  Am  Dm

[Verse]
Dm
Somewhere in between the moss and the stone
    C                           Dm
The wind and the wood became my home
Dm
I laid myself down upon the green
C            Am                      Dm
When the ivy overgrew, I could never leave

[Chorus]
                 C                  Dm
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper
                 C      Am        Dm
Something in the madness eased my mind
       C             Dm
Was I awake or was I dreaming?
                     C      Am   Dm
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind

[Chorus]
                 C                  Dm
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper
                 C      Am        Dm
Something in the madness eased my mind
       C             Dm
Was I awake or was I dreaming?
                     C      N.C.   Dm
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind
