Night falls

Likaon 1991 (Zabrze)



The night falls upon us.
 Like barrier shielding us from harm.
Silence surrounds us.
Like walls that are so familiar to us.
Emptiness fills us.
 Like savior fighting of the armies of the dark.
We are but the children’s of the night.
 She's our mother and the only one we can trust.
 Sanguine is our father.
He's the only one we should listen to.
His deeds are the only thing we live for.
 Nocturne is our guardian.
 In her we should leave our fate.
 The day betrays us.
 The light fools us.
 Others mock us.
But we will succeed.
We are the chosen.
 Childrens of the night.
