Sometimes the darkness tempts us to do drastic dreadful deeds
Even against our own instincts to survive the darkness grabs gainful gumption
The darkness preys on our fragile fruitless fears
It seems this battle against the darkness knows no boundless barrier barrage
I have seen the darkness take full cackling cadaver control
The darkness lashes out without relenting rash remorse
The darkness never ceases its iconoclastic illusive influence
The fight against the darkness will never be totally tactfully terminated
The darkness does not dominate but its moments are obligating overwhelming ochlesis
