[Intro] Dm C Dm Dm C Am Dm [Verse]
Dm
Once upon a dark autumn night

C                      Dm
I was so very far from sleep

Dm
I longed to walk beneath the stars

C        Am               Dm
Into the wood so dark and deep
[Verse]
Dm
Neither myth nor faerie tale

      C                            Dm
Could keep me from the path to the maze

Dm
But eyes upon me I could feel

C             Am                Dm
Hidden in the shadows watching always
[Chorus]
                 C                  Dm
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper

                 C      Am        Dm
Something in the madness eased my mind

       C             Dm
Was I awake or was I dreaming?

                     C      Am   Dm        Bb   A
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind
[Verse]
Dm
Once while I was sitting in my room

    C                        Dm
One cold and silver winter's day

Dm
I could hear an otherworldly call

C        Am                      Dm
Try as I might, I couldn't turn away
[Chorus]
                 C                  Dm
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper

                 C      Am        Dm
Something in the madness eased my mind

       C             Dm
Was I awake or was I dreaming?

                     C      Am   Dm
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind
[Instrumental] Dm C Dm Dm C Am Dm Dm C Dm C Am Dm Dm C Dm C Am Dm [Verse]
Dm
Somewhere in between the moss and the stone

    C                           Dm
The wind and the wood became my home

Dm
I laid myself down upon the green

C            Am                      Dm
When the ivy overgrew, I could never leave
[Chorus]
                 C                  Dm
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper

                 C      Am        Dm
Something in the madness eased my mind

       C             Dm
Was I awake or was I dreaming?

                     C      Am   Dm
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind
[Chorus]
                 C                  Dm
Something in the darkness pulled me deeper

                 C      Am        Dm
Something in the madness eased my mind

       C             Dm
Was I awake or was I dreaming?

                     C      N.C.   Dm
Cut the strings that bind me to mankind
