[VERSE]
[Dm]Once upon a dark autumn night
[C]I was so very far from [Dm]sleep
[Dm]I longed to walk beneath the stars
[C]Into the [Am]wood so dark and [Dm]deep

[VERSE]
[Dm]Neither myth nor faerie tale
Could [C]keep me from the path to the [Dm]maze
[Dm]But eyes upon me I could feel
[C]Hidden in the [Am]shadows watching a[Dm]lways

[CHORUS]
Something in the [C]darkness pulled me [Dm]deeper
Something in the [C]madness[Am] eased my [Dm]mind
Was I a[C]wake or was I [Dm]dreaming?
Cut the strings that [C]bind me[Am] to m[Dm]ankind [Bb] [A]

[VERSE]
[Dm]Once while I was sitting in my room
One [C]cold and silver winter's [Dm]day
[Dm]I could hear an otherworldly call
[C]Try as I [Am]might, I couldn't turn a[Dm]way

[CHORUS]
Something in the [C]darkness pulled me [Dm]deeper
Something in the [C]madness[Am] eased my [Dm]mind
Was I a[C]wake or was I [Dm]dreaming?
Cut the strings that [C]bind me[Am] to m[Dm]ankind

The [C]wind and the wood became my [Dm]home
[Dm]I laid myself down upon the green
[C]When the ivy [Am]overgrew, I could never [Dm]leave

[CHORUS]
Something in the [C]darkness pulled me [Dm]deeper
