Something About Night
There is something about night
Something I just can,t shake
Something heavier than light
Something very much at stake
From night's deep dye they made
The ebony of my dayless skin
Wheresoever I go I carry a shade
Of the ancient curse of other's sin
And that much night I can bear
It is walking at night that I fear
When someone's standing ground there
Because I do not belong anywhere
The law was made against the night
And it went wheresoever I went
It embodies a deep, deeper spite
Than hatred can conjure or vent.
