A Tale of the Dead

As Dawn awakens
We seek to arise
Yet are burned by the light
Till dark is nigh

So we sit in our tombstones
And remember our loss
To take a deal with the devil
And scorn at our cost

Other float around
In search for a heart

They search in the gallows
They search in the shallows
They search in the hallows
where one might stall

They've been waiting and waiting to take someone's life
To take someone's body
And make a good night

We are all the seekers of the dark
And seek the mindless
Or the wise

Tis a random thing
Who we pick
To steal a living's life
Is it a crime?

We wait until night.

Then there is Twilight
And we all come to live
Again in the freshness of the midnight dew
I for one am seeking for you.
