Starless

I don't let the dark scare me anymore
It only steals away the light, and, thus, everything I can see and means something to me
When it comes with little warning it sure is a shocking sight; alone with only

the moonlight
Its vaporous luminescence is like anything this world could not be
And the darkness shows me what the light could never see
After the moon's gone away,
because all that's dark's had its say,
before the gloom that's the sunrise had its way

I will never condone such light, as my vow
And as I scud, I notice I'm not the only one
We fly on what seems like an endless night
With the stealth of a bat and
A soul to bite
Our paltry foes are asleep until we glean
The terror in their eyes could be

Surceased by a sunbeam
But, my stagnant heart could never love again
As I'm getting concerned for my mortality
It seems I've lost that opportunity with my life
So, must I stay in this realm of night?

It's been a long time since he first bit me
And after they staked him I've felt so alone
My soul's in tatters and I feel so cold!
But another night takes away all feeling
As my soul slips away and I close
The coffin door.
