No stars

It’s when there are no stars,

That’s when we find who we are

No lights to hide behind

No wishes to be made

It’s in this darkness

In this shade of black

That’s when our demons come out

The soul is weak and cannot fight

There is no inner light

It takes over and becomes

What we fear the most, reality

There is nothing anyone can do

They are too strong

The beast which we call human

Lives a dark life covered by suppression

The human slowly dies

Immortality is no longer possible

The beast fades and so does the soul

It’s within this dark light

That’s when we find ourselves

Marrying the idea that we are invincible

Without the stars we know who we are

But when they come back

Our darkness hides behind bright eyes
