I Am The Night

A curtain call

The wings are waiting for the night to fall

Spread over the stage

Can’t keep me out

I’ve always pummeled through the doors of doubt

Power through the plagues

Wit for pace

This riddle’s just a race

Old self pities

Cleanse this city’s waste

I am the night

A tyrant of the shade

I am the spite

I am the pain repaid

I am the night

A fear that lies in shadows cannot fade

Crush the light

I am the night

Listening

The ripple of a heartbeat quickening

Fear behind the eyes

Uneasy prey

The broken bones litter the alleyways

Terror from the skies

Check my head

I guess the joke’s on me

I’m not laughing

At the irony

I am the night

A tyrant of the shade

I am the spite

I am the pain repaid

I am the night

A fear that lies in shadows cannot fade

Crush the light

I am the night

The chill

Of the shadow that lurks inside this mind

It builds

Breathe the fear out and face it one last time

I am the night

A tyrant of the shade

I am the spite

I am the pain repaid

I am the night

A fear that lies in shadows cannot fade

Crush the light

I am the night

And now the joke is on me...

I am the night
