I Am the Night
A curtain call
The wings are waiting for the night to fall
Spread over the stage
Can’t keep me out
I’ve always pummeled through the doors of doubt
Power through the plagues
Wit for pace
This riddle’s just a race
Old self pities
Cleanse this city’s waste
I am the night
A tyrant of the shade
I am the spite
I am the pain repaid
I am the night
A fear that lies in shadows cannot fade
Crush the light
I am the night
Listening
The ripple of a heartbeat quickening
Fear behind the eyes
Uneasy prey
The broken bones litter the alleyways
Terror from the skies
Check my head
I guess the joke’s on me
I’m not laughing
At the irony
I am the night
A tyrant of the shade
I am the spite
I am the pain repaid
I am the night
A fear that lies in shadows cannot fade
Crush the light
I am the night
The chill
Of the shadow that lurks inside this mind
It builds
Breathe the fear out and face it one last time
I am the night
A tyrant of the shade
I am the spite
I am the pain repaid
I am the night
A fear that lies in shadows cannot fade
Crush the light
I am the night
And now the joke is on me
I am the night
