Somewhere in the darkness is a demon growling deep
Growling fiercely, growling coarsely
In the darkness, while you sleep
Somewhere in a chamber sleeps a maiden free of fright
Sleeping gently, sleeping sweetly
In the darkness of the night
Somewhere in the darkness a demon comes upright
It slithers to the chamber
Where the maiden sleeps this night
“Awake my darling maiden,” says the demon with a smile
“I want to hear you screaming
As your chasteness I beguile”
The maiden quivers coldly as she wakens from her sleep
She gazes at the demon with its eyes so dark and deep;
Then shouts out to her savior
“Oh, Lord, my soul please keep”
Somewhere in the darkness is a beacon shining light
Shining brightly, shining whitely
In the darkness of the night
Somewhere from the beacon comes a knight bedight in white
He rides upon a stallion with sinews steely tight
He leaps into the chamber with the maiden filled with fright
And cries out to the demon
“It’s now me you’ll have to fight”
The demon howls with laughter then utters out a cry
“Come at me if you have to, for I can never die”
Then the beacon rises swiftly, rises swiftly in the night
It shines onto the demon with its purifying light
The demon slithers quickly, slithers quickly from the light
It slithers out a window and back into the night
Then gazes sternly upward, sternly upward toward the knight
“This maiden whom you’ve rescued, rescued here tonight
Will be mine tomorrow, tomorrow come the night
I’ll come before your beacon, your beacon and its light
Ever rises from its slumber, its slumber from the night
Light is but illusion; it merely hides the night
The night, it is forever, and will long outlive all light
So farewell, my darling maiden, and your knight bedight in white
My patience, it’s forever, forever longer than the light”
