• The shadow of this darkest night
    begins to creep over the evening light
    dark tendrils begin to engulf this day
    casting it into night
    the full moon sits high in the sky
    casting its pale light down on this earth
    but even that light begins to fade as the shadow appears on the moon
    filling your dreams to the brim with fright
    this darkness has a shape
    it is the monster that hides in your closet
    and the beings that lurk in the night
    it is your shattered hopes and dreams
    and all of your fears and doubts
    it is the tears that stream down your face as despair grips you
    this darkness is a creature born of hatred and malice
    and fed by fright and self loathing
    it destroys without reason or descrimination
    it cannot be stopped because it will return
    that is simply human nature
