Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What kind of demon's afraid of the dark?
And what kind of monster would hide?
Forces around me could tear me apart
Worried I won't survive in the fight
[Chorus]
I'm terrified of the shade of night
I'm terrified they'll swallow me whole
I'm terrified, more for you than I
I'm terrified the beast is the world outside
[PostChorus]
World outside
[Verse 2]
Who's gonna cover you after I'm gone
When you no longer have me to shield?
Only the strong see the light of the dawn
But the enemy's coming to kill
[Chorus]
I'm terrified of the shade of night
I'm terrified they'll swallow me whole
I'm terrified, more for you than I
I'm terrified the beast is the world outside
[Bridge]
I've been pleading with the devil, man, to spare me the pain
It's like the place is made of sinking sand, I might suffocate
Cry out, but no one's there
Screaming's a waste of air
Take a knee, no, I don't dare to stand and act like I'm tall
They can't compare to what I'm up against, they're so fuckin' small
Cry out, but no one's there
Screaming's a waste of air
[Chorus]
I'm terrified of the shade of night
I'm terrified they'll swallow me whole
I'm terrified, more for you than I
I'm terrified the beast is the world outside
[Outro]
Beast is the world outside
