[Intro]:
[Verse]:
Once upon a dark autumn night
I was so very far from sleep
I longed to walk beneath the stars
Into the wood so dark and deep
[Verse]:
Neither myth nor faerie tale
Could keep me from the path to the maze
But eyes upon me I could feel
Hidden in the shadows watching always
[Chorus]:
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper
Something in the madness eased my mind
Was I awake or was I dreaming?
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind
[Verse]:
Once while I was sitting in my room
One cold and silver winter's day
I could hear an otherworldly call
Try as I might, I couldn't turn away
[Chorus]:
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper
Something in the madness eased my mind
Was I awake or was I dreaming?
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind
[Instrumental]:
[Verse]:
Somewhere in between the moss and the stone
The wind and the wood became my home
I laid myself down upon the green
When the ivy overgrew, I could never leave
[Chorus]:
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper
Something in the madness eased my mind
Was I awake or was I dreaming?
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind
[Chorus]:
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper
Something in the madness eased my mind
Was I awake or was I dreaming?
[N.C.]
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind
