A bit rough and ready, but time is of the essence...

When darkness falls

When darkness falls upon the land
And the shades of night come calling
That’s the time the bad dreams come;
They really can be galling.

Nightmares can take many forms
And often we may find
That midnight tremors shake our soul
And torment our troubled mind.

The frozen sweats that chill our bones
And stem from evil dreams
To make us shiver in the night
And compliment our screams.

When darkness falls upon the land
And shades of night come calling,
We’ll make our way upstairs to bed
Not knowing if we’ll be falling

Into slumbers sweet and restful
Or into disturbed, troubled sleep,
That’s why before we climb in bed
We pray the Lord our soul to keep...
