NIGHT

Many battles fought
And many left to fight
It seems my hardest battle
Is getting through the night

Memories turn to demons
Turn to sweats turn on the light
It seems my hardest battle
Is getting through the night

The demons live in the fortress
Built in memories my mind holds tight
It seems my hardest battle
Is getting through the night

There on constant vigil
For when the sun fades out of sight
It seems my hardest battle
Is getting through the night

Silently preparing
Till their power is at its height
My hardest battle is
Getting through the night

They know my armor's weakness
Forming a phalanx ready to fight
My hardest battle is
Getting through the night

My defenses pierced and punished
​The hordes close in with might
My hardest battle is
Getting through the night

Face-to-face with my demons
All my mistakes flood my sight
My hardest battle is
Getting through the night

Hell Spawn torment my dreams
With choices of wrong or right
My hardest battle is
Just getting through the night

My sleep broken by terror
The demon army retreats from light
I fight a losing battle
I fight it every night
