Nuclear Nitelite

Raised as a nomad atop of the scorched earth

I tended the archive along with my mother

Under the orbit of the winter moon

At times I would stray from the path of my coven

And into the homes of those living in ruins

Many were gracious, delighted to talk to

A person from outside the safety they clung to

I soon met a child with wing's of a bat who

Would become the greatest friend I ever new

Nuclear Nitelite, show me the way

Don't let my blind sight lead me astray

Take your Nuclear Nitelite and radiant slumber

I will disguise mine from one to the other

Even when it feels bitter and tearing apart

I will defend you from right to the start

Nuclear Nitelite, a world scorched by Blight

Nuclear Nitelite, mutations rise to overdrive

"The stars look much bigger reflected in your eyes

And though my world's smaller, I've come to realize

That if we were born in the light of a kind star

It couldn't allow for everything we are."

The thing that I am, the thing on my shoulders

Spreading its stump wings into the cold air

I said "I guess that our God is a cruel one"

They spoke in curses, "Annihilation

Is hardly a God he's just stupid and evil

And he's no creator if we are his people."

I said "I wonder if there is a reason

For which we are altered with every mutaiton

And could we get closer to whatever vision

Our bodies warp towards, a completed demon?"

Then they were silent, I carried them home

My mind would not rest once I was alone

Nuclear Nitelite, show me the way

Don't let my blind sight lead me astray

Take your Nuclear Nitelite and radiant slumber

I will disguise mine from one to the other

Even when it feels bitter and tearing apart

I will defend you from right to the start

Take your Nuclear Nitelite and radiant slumber

After this world's light is blackened and smothered

Even when it feels bitter and tearing apart

I will defend you from right to the start

The wings which once had barely cleared

The span between my shoulders

Now blocked out the sky above

My friend was unfamiliar

And this was what we'd always wanted

The final transformation

They left without a single word

And never touched the ground again.

I lived a half-life

Under the orbit of the winter moon

I made a friend

Outside the orbit of the winter moon

I watched my friend fly

To the horozion of the blazen field

I know they're out their

Soaring the skies beneath the blazen moon

Take your Nuclear Nitelite and radiant slumber

I will disguise mine from one to the other

Even when it feels bitter and tearing apart

I will defend you from right to the start
