Fear of the Night

Amidst the good and evil of the night For the darkly heavens gives out stars for sight Mixed the sun reflections off the moon for light The serpent can see its territory from left to right Slithering past it's victims as to give out a phantom strike Has many clinch their fist and barricade their eyes Brings forth illusions too the many unwise That evil only comes when the earth mourns it's skies But even a serpent can carry a disguise For any truth can be covered with transcendent lies But truth can be found through the shadow of their eyes Where the wicked lay as their hatred breeds As if blood spills brings true nature to a seed For true fear is the driving force to this heed Who's the true creator, the anchor for this deed For it's us that falls to it's every wish and need The true arrogance of the world today That falls victim to this old cliche Fear the night until it turns to day It's a steady diet with an unfortunate replay.
