Creature of the Night

Creature of the night

Scarred by sunlight and your own squirming

Please tell me again

For what it is you’re yearning?

Is it hard to respond

While fighting with yourself?

Tear through the flesh

Friendly cuts, prey cries

Sustenance, no pause

Silence as we die

Creature of the night

Wake from your dream, why do shadows call?

Please tell me again

For what it is you live at all?

Is it hard to see me

While fighting everyone?

Tear through the flesh

Friendly cuts, prey cries

Sustenance, no pause

Silence as we die.

Creature of the night

I’m so sorry… you had to die like this

And I feel your pain

What life will you miss?

It’s hard for us to be

Born of dark and blight.
