The Sleep Demons

When the sun has set and the dark has come,
I feel the beat of a slumbering drum.
Fight as I might, I cannot win this war.
I feel the sleep demons arrive once more.
They have no mercy as they seal my fate.
They lay upon me a relentless weight.
My eyelids droop and heavy shoulders sag.
My back is stooped down as my lead legs drag.
The sleep demons come and take me to bed.
One day, the death demons will make me dead.
