The Waning Night

by Masterxx9

Light That is all I ever asked The stars are receding And I have failed my task I wonder I wonder What did I fail to do? I have been sleeping Under the abyss of darkness Under the belly of my Beast I see no demon but my reflection The puddles were deepening Even the shadows will have me for feast Until my reincarnation I never knew the remorse And I never knew the victimizing course All I knew were my dreams And the sacred moon reappearing to save me Help...I need refuge.
