-spirit of the night-

By Exodus

This really can go both ways...as a song or a poem...I think ..
Well...I wrote this describing a picture I have hanging on my wall...My dad gave it to me...And its really just a beautiful picture...I hope you Enjoy!




-spirit of the night-


Falling into place
Under the bridge
In these dreams I awake

No one came to hear me
Tonight is under my wings

For I am not your angel
Nor your sinner
I do not praise
What does not exist
In my heart
Longs the bleeding
You can tell
I am the spirit of the night

Flying high on shadows
Amongst the swaying of trees

Shaking of their wisdom
Down an autumn breeze

For I am not your angel
Nor your sinner
I do not praise
What does not exist
In my heart
Longs the bleeding
You can tell
I am the spirit of the night

Close your eyes
And fall into the water below
Wash away ten thousand years
It seems of wasted blood

For I am not your angel
Nor your sinner
I do not praise
What does not exist
In my heart
Longs the bleeding
You can tell
I am the spirit of the night

    this needs to be a song... on my playlist... on repeat for a while :) I like this part in particular, I'm a big fan of escaping typical dichotomies: "For I am not your angel/ Nor your sinner."
