I Am the Night

I am the night, despiser of light
I fall over you in the blink of an eye
The tunnel of love is flickering dim
As the blood in your veins is runnin so thin
Shadows of body and soul
A command over life that no one else holds
I’m stained by the dirt of the grave
Pray all you want but I won’t go away
Twilight descending, I vanquish the sun
There’s nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
A demon of opiate dreams
You hear my whisper as loud as a scream
I am the night
Say your goodbyes
This is the hour
Darkness devours
The pain
Just call my name
I am the night, deceiver of sight
Forever in darkness, death is denied
In the tunnel of love my rats make their home
We measure your worth by the flesh that you will sow
This omen of ill, you know it so well
Know it by heart, by touch and by smell
I am the final demise
Make no mistake when you gaze into my eyes
Just call my name
