Demons of My Soul

Hush! Oh demons of my soul,
My mind seeks rest, my heart control…
You nag me so relentlessly,
Til I feel faint, oh set me free!

You drag me from the path I've known,
Til I'm forlorn, so all alone…
Your deadness seems to permeate,
And burrows in to saturate.

Hush! Oh demons of my soul,
You lie and cheat and then cajole,
But don't dig in to breed your doubt…
I'll call on Light to burn you out!
