I saw you in my mind when I was younger

And I grew older and I saw you still

You'd stay close to me sometimes behind my shoulder

When I was weary, trouble would come

In my last defense you tried to warn me

I did not know you, you were a demon to me

Your presence, it was a fear that lived inside me

It grew around me then you would appear

Deep below the earth I might have found you

High above the tower I could not see

Deep below the earth I might have found you

High above the tower I could not see

I was dead and I was dying at your doorway

I did not see you, you did not appear

And between the years, I might have come to know you

But I don't own you, that much is clear

Deep below the earth I might have found you

High above the tower I could not see

Deep below the earth I might have found you

High above the tower I could not see

I was afraid someday you'd return

Unchanged at my door as you'd once been before

The flutter of fortune, the bringer of gloom

Out of the darkness and into my room

I was afraid someday you'd return

And changed at my door as you'd once been before

The flutter of fortune, the bringer of gloom

Out of the darkness and into my room
