Alone in the Dark

I wander through a desolate land
 On a cold and barren day
 I wander beneathï¿ a shadow
 Under a light so chill, so gray My thoughts beneath the shadow
 That will not pass away
 My thoughts beneath the shadow
 That will not fade away
 Faces that avert are pale Voices thin with fear
 Silent streets and alleys wind
 Windless skies so drear
 Witherï¿ beneath the shadow
 What is this grisly visage
 That sears their souls with dread?
 What demon constant follows me
 And tints the sun soï¿ red?
 What is this fiend whose shadow
 Taints lands wherever I tread?
 Faces that avert are pale
 Voices thin with fear
 Silent streets and alleys wind
 Windless skies so drear
 Wither beneath the shadow
 Faces that avert are pale
 Voices thin with fear
 Silent streetsï¿ and alleys wind
 Windless skies so drear
 Writhing whispers that I hear
 To turn and look
 Upon its face
 Brought fear I'd never known
 The shadow Has ever haunted me
 As I walk the earthï¿ so alone
 Whenï¿ I turned, no face I saw
 For the shadow was my own
 When I turned, no face
 I saw For the shadow was my own
 Wither beneath the shadow Faces that avert are pale
 Voices thin with fear
 Silent streets and alleys wind
 Windless skies so drear
 Writhing whispers that
 I hear (they were really hard to find!)
