The Eyes of Darkness The eyes of darkness death's dual spies,their gaze alone will end our lives.The end is near, you must take heed.Death is here to act out its deed.The eyes of darkness search for me,I slip away so they don't see.I enshroud myself in the night,so one more hour I'll dwell to fight.The eyes of darkness fall ...
