Midnight Rule
The cold seeps in as fingers shake
The twilight comes and lights forsake
A star so distant, chill and fair
Resplendent beauty shining there
A silent creeping evil dwells
Within the long-abandoned dells
Of dark and lonely midnight halls
A wayward heart the secret calls
An iron taste is on the wind
The trees will break before they bend
The embers glow, and flick’ring die
As darkness claims the cunning lie
If life and love are legends here
Then lightless queens will rule with fear
The screams ring silent in the dark
Without an audience to hark
