Daughter of Darkness
The darkness is my comfort, where I feel safe and sound
For it was refuge from the monsters, who tried to tear me down
My monsters come not from darkness, but in the harsh light of day
Hands gripping around my neck, pulling me down without my say
The darkness provides peace, a quiet time for all
A set of arms to watch me when I feel like I'm going to fall
As a result I have become acquainted with the spirit of the night
For this sacred time of tranquility is my refuge from it's light
So when the world falls asleep, and into the dreamworld be
There's a whole void awaiting, my perfect calamity
Adapted to the emptiness, a daughter of the night
In starry skies is when I have the best of my foresight
Praise be to the night who raised me, and the moon my beloved goddess
Compared to the loudness of the day, the night is much more modest
Everyone believes that sunny days bring about the most of joy
But the moon has kept me safe and sound, comforting me in the void
