Endless night it approaches
From a distance it looms black across the sky
Racing to engulf the unwary in its grasp
Across the horizon it rushes
Breaking through the shafts of light with its black tendrils
Octopus like it reaches out its arms to cripple the day
Day runs towards the west, escaping the night
As strange creatures, tentatively poke their noses out of hidey-holes
Looking for their time, their measure of night
Night to hunt, Night to love and live
To mate and die
All in one long night,
One long night of endless darkness
That stretches into eternity
Till day seams a memory of lies
Lies told by ancients who's memory has faded
So faded is that truth than none believe
That sun had once shone upon the land
None may rest there as night rushes on
Till finally daylight creeps in on the unwary
Blinding sensitive eyes with foreign senses
Shutting out darkness with one bolt of brilliance
Slowly, oh so slowly, day creatures awake
After nights long grasp and shuffle out into the new born warmth
Fresh new spring
Work your magic on the land
Bring forth new life and peace
Bring forth erasure of night
So that it is but a memory
So that night grows dim in memories of all.
