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…
