Nightly Fate
Setting sun comes with a fiery glow
Faster faster the horizon darkens slow
How the pain grows as light fades to go
Shades of blue, a line across the sky
Turns darkest at a point most high
Where evil lurks in wait to fly
The hour comes, howls through the air
White knuckle fisting, gloom and glare
Sending shivers, echoes tingling hair
Blowing wind, buzzing the ears
The demon within appears
A tornado, shadows, spinning fears
Ghostly white, dressed in black
Hooded and cloaked front to back
Leading an army of ghouls on attack
Call the Father, Son and Spirit to dance
The good and meek do not have a chance
Without sword, shield and lance
Pulling and groping, sinking down
Hands like branches, vines up from the ground
Pinned and crushing, lungs begin to drown
The anxiety flares, it starts to boil
The ache inside strained from toil
Left vs Right like vinegar and oil
A battle that thrives in the heat of night
Sleepless, left weak, pray to see the light
East beyond peaks, breaches with delight
Songs sung by birds awakening call
Lifting souls from a beaten fall
To honour a new days rise for all
The demon within retreats in wait
For the sun to set behind heavens gate
And unleash the horrors nightly fate
Ax
Thoughts...exploding in my head
