Black Moon Rising

In the blackest pitch of night it rises when you least expect it Highly sentient is this thing of darkness and you must respect it Thriving in the astral plane, Immortal for the gods protect it Volitile invasion, reads your mind, your thoughts, you can't reject it Caution is the best defense to use when it is out and prowling Nowhere you can hide, it senses fear; bloodthirst, you hear it howling Underneath your bed not even safe, your thoughts betray your cowering Always on the move, it follows you above your head it's towering I have found that if you don't refuse the beast it will protect you If you look it dead in the eye and call its bluff it will respect you Then you'll be compelled to worship for its will is overpowering And too late you'll notice piece by piece your soul it's been devouring What you don't see will make your life cease to be if you ignore it If you don't heed my advice you will bleed and die for it Questioning why it is your turn to die there's no answer Closing your eyes you will see... Black moon rising!
