Children of the Night

Say goodbye to the sun

You are now a child of night

Free, untamed and wild

Free to fly

But unable to ever die

There is no place for us in heaven

We no longer care about anyone, my brethren

There is no fear in our dark inhuman eyes

As we lift our black wings to the inky sky

The night is cool and loving, our long lost friend

And this feeling of being alive again

Echoes through our non existent souls

There is no sound in the airless night

Only our shallow breathing

Our dead hearts almost beating

We are the danger that you fear

The terror that makes you scared

We are your nightmares come to life

A silent threat here to destroy your child

Come we whisper, join us

Secrets of our scintillating adventures

And they come, undoubting our intentions

Believing our illusions and pretences

We are at peace with who we are

A blood cold killer, the monster

Living through the ages

Conducting a thousand different wars and rages

An eternal era of destruction and chaos

We are the demons

We have no shred of fear

We don’t have the patience to care

We fly to the stars

Brilliant pulsing lights dance

Reflecting on our beautiful faces

And our excitement is tangible in the air

Silently speaking of illegal chases

Can’t you feel us here?

Pure undiluted evil

We are the children of the dark

The ones who know nothing of love

For us it’s just the thrill of the hunt

The need for blood, the want

Someone’s death, to take their last breath

We do not have regrets

But still we don’t forget

Yet you cannot ever go back

Once you have tasted our dark desire

That daunting yet dazzling black fire

That glitters through our cold blood

Like a fast flowing river

There is no getting over the addiction

It’s become our passion, our fascination

Dawn is coming

We feel it on our skin

The slight singe

The sting, the light burn

We descend over the still silent world

Our movements unheard

Deep underground we hide

The earth conceals us as her secret

With no one to confide

Until darkness comes to claim us

We will rest

Underneath a blanket of sand

Hidden underground

Our eyes begin to close

And we enter the unknown . . .
