Carpe Noctum, An Ode To Darkness

Capre Noctum, An Ode To Darkness




Forced outside to suffer and die,
Nobody hears the tears you cry,
Thinking that you're all alone,
As High King Sorrow takes your throne.

But you are not the only one,
Who has been injured by the Sun,
By the followers of the Light,
So take a look into the Night.

I was sent to meet you here.
No reason have you to feel fear,
If it's your wish, I'll help you fight,
Make your choice, in Day or Night.

For in the Darkness you will see,
A way to end your Misery,
A group to goin that knows your pain,
For in this Darkness, Night will reign.

At the crossroads do you stand,
I see you're injured, take my hand,
Tell me where you want to go,
Tell me what you'd like to know.

As I said, please make your choice,
Let your heart now speak it's voice,
Shall you live to battle Light,
Or would you rather live with Night?

I can tell you simply this,
The Night has brought me plenty bliss,
So if you choose it, take my hand,
In Darkness, you will understand.

For in this Kingdom called the Night,
We all are free from tragic plight,
"Carpe Noctum" is our vow,
So if you'll join us, swear it now.
