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

Strange how the dark brings peace to some, fear to others. Quite like the dark myself, it always sounds good.
