The Night's Keepers

We rise with our mother moon The trees rustle their goodbye Even thought we number in thousands We make no noise Through soundless cries we report All is clear Keepers of the night We protect All who fall under our wings Our domain Ever safe Death is our master Chilling fear Misery Suffering No more Once great in the eyes Of those below Now a simple Bedtime story The stars light our way Comfort our lonely existence We are forgotten Yet we fly on The darkness our family The duty, our life As sliver feathers fall They sprinkle glittering upon our charges A small gift of moonlight To soothe the heart Calm minds Keepers of the night We protect All who fall under our wings Our domain Ever safe Death is our master Chilling fear Misery Suffering No more Existence never lasts Without The Night’s Keepers
