"The Dark" by Nomaditsu

There's a legend of The Dark
It stirs when light departs
Moving through the quiet spaces
Finding those in hiding places
Everyone will warn you "Hush"
Stay beneath the radar's brush
Keep still, stay low, make no sound
That's how you won't be found

But something strange about this tale
A detail that makes the strongest pale
When The Dark is closing in
The silence is where dangers begin

The Dark, it feeds on quiet
The Dark, it learns your ways
Convinces you that safety
Comes from silent days
But there's a hidden weakness
In shadows seldom told
The thing it can't control
Is when your voice unfolds

I've watched it take the strongest minds
They disappear, leave life behind
While others move through light of day
The taken ones just fade away
The Dark has such convincing lies
"Stay hidden from all watching eyes"
So they vanish from the scene
As if they'd never even been

But something strange about this tale
A detail that makes the strongest pale
When The Dark is closing in
The silence is where dangers begin

The Dark, it feeds on quiet
The Dark, it learns your ways
Convinces you that safety
Comes from silent days
But there's a hidden weakness
In shadows seldom told
The thing it can't control
Is when your voice unfolds

The more you try to disappear
The stronger that it grows
The truth that turns the tide around?
It's the courage that you show
The louder that you call out
The more The Dark recedes
It can't survive where voice rings out
That's what the legend reads

The Dark, it feeds on quiet
The Dark, it learns your ways
Convinces you that safety
Comes from silent days
But there's a hidden weakness
In shadows seldom told
The thing it can't control
Is when your voice unfolds

The Dark, it feeds on quiet
The Dark, it learns your ways
Convinces you that safety
Comes from silent days
