Stories of the Night
A shift upon receiving
The wisdom of my soul
That perceives a tale reforming
As we fall into this black hole
But awareness now is sinking
Along with this dead earth
To where darkest stories glisten
And rage against my worth
The silence now betrays me
Introspection turns to dust
The life about me failing
As I wake into mistrust
The visions now surrounding
The remainder of my sight
Though darkness crawls before me
It is I who kneel from fright
Draining all my wisdom
There’s nothing I can say
The dark is all consuming
There is eternity to pay
Yet this is just a story
As I glance into the night
This shift will pass before us
And leave me lonely in the light
