A Place

There's a place at edge of light

Where thin the line 'tween day and night

Where nightmares wait just out of sight

And sunshine turns to dark.

There's a place in black of night

Where safety fades, replaced with fright

Where nightmares come with dad's goodnight

And childhood life departs.

There's a place above the deep

Where ere I jump, I stand and weep

And pray the lord my soul to keep

From this body torn apart.

There's a place where nightmares dwell

Where witches cackle and conjure spells

Where demons dance, escaped from hell

And hate pervades the heart.
