The Dark of Night

The light of day and dark of night This pale moon is such a fright A breath of wind, or a catch of air Caught beneath its treacherous glare The cold wind begins to howl Causing the wolves to snarl and growl. A sound that is completely silent Mixed with a promise, that it is violent We wait for the morning, with its beautiful light For the dark is where the monsters delight With their razor teeth, so white and so cold This night will soon get so dreadfully old. With no way to know where it is that you are There's not a single, shining star The moon disappears, and the night goes black Then lightning strikes with a resounding crack Is it raining, or is it pouring Or is it the silence, itself roaring? The light and dark, are falling around The light and dark, don't make a sound My worst enemy, or my best friend There's nothing in this soul left for me to defend The light has faded, and shadows are frail This thing called life... is now just a tale.
