[center]I AM THE NIGHT




I am the night,
 I witness so much hate.
My tears are like streaks of light,
 My thunderous cry rumbles in the air.

My my, another soul,
 just a make shift tomb remains.
Her body, now charcoal.
 This happens again and again.

Let the Heavens roar!
 Let my wailing winds instill fear!
I'll let down a tremendous downpour,
 To see those who got caught in their own sneer.

I am the night,
   sleepless,
       useless,
 dark and treacherous.
I am Death's companion,
   cheerless
       boundless
 as my hope-giving stars are a wordless witness,
   I can become just as traitorous.

I woe, and my piercing screams
  Shakes the earth.
The infinite pain,
 of those lost against their will
   sure does hurts.

Tombs and graves,
  dug up from land, a rest for the dead.
To the dirt, they are enslaved,
  and all it can do, is suck up the bloodshed.

My blinding rays,
  are like the reaper's fingers.
Reaching below to pick his prey,
  strike after strike, and lingers.

I weep for the living
  with my sodden skies.
I am mournfully crying,
  on this dark stormy night.
