We Who Walk The NightA Poem by David McNeeley
I was born In darkness
But raised in the light Chosen to be an agent of the bright But now I know were I came from You say I'm meant for so much more But how do you know your way is right How do you know you live in the light If only you could see the beauty in the night Brothers and sisters, for centuries they have condemned us We who walk the night Searching the darkness for light Finding in ourselves the hope that already shines on them You say our light is less You say our hope is for the darkness But we have found the ancient script Proof that your light is little more than a reflection If you saw her hair glisten You would fall under her spell Just like I once did But you could never understand The duty of the children of the night We are the darkest secret We are the shadows We have returned for a reason The true darkness has risen yet again There is a time for all to live in the light of the sun And a place where the night offers no fearful demon But we brothers and sisters must rise For the children of the day need us to protect them You think the night is nothing but darkness But you forget that stars Who choose to shine only once the sun goes down You see we both serve the light Friend please watch the day As I watch the night For true evil will not hide in the shadows No instead it will disguise itself as an angel of light It will entice your children with songs and endless dance It call you to complacency in her couch of despair Last of all it will call you to arms for a nonexistent cause Using hatred and fear to drag you from all light So I say to you son of the light Rise with me to fight this darkness So that the enemy of our souls may know fear As he watches our unorthodox union lay waste to prejudice © 2014 David McNeeley |
