Life In Long Night

The light through me travels fast Darkness like lust in me prolongs My shadow on you don’t ever last For my days are short, nights long. I am visible for a while in the open As a nightrider to the dark I belong You’ll lose me as night mists deepen For my days are short, nights long. Reality sinks as cold sun sets it free When dream walks it takes me along My hands you want to hold won’t see For my days are short, nights long. After tormenting time breaks my mind Under moon’s shroud I’ll sing swan song Music of dark in your heart you won’t find For my days are short, nights long.
