When the darkness sets in
The only glimpse of light
Is the glare of my pale blue eyes

The night brings eternity to minutes
caught up in dreams
where souls endlessly break
which is out of reach only to forsake

Past and present collide in unison
Over the pain that has become my prison
One can only hope to feed the lessor evil
As the night creates a worse equal

Hopes and dreams shatter in the quest
To have my heart in love's protest

All that is left, all that has survived
A soul of that is good is deprived
I can wake up in the dawn of light
Embracing the irrevocable Night
