Night Platform

Sometimes it's better to stay in the dark.

Deepest hour of the darkest night

When doom and gloom has devoured all light

The creeping, crawling, slithering sounds

Of dirty vermin seem all around

A thick, raucous silence descends on your ears

No sliver of warmth to dispel those fears

Your trembling mind begs for light

To sever the blackness like a scythe 

But you're deceived by your human thoughts

Light cannot be your savior anymore

Better to stay hidden, shivering away

In the eternal shadows of your night; our day

Even in light, you're condemned to your fate 

Blinded ignorance... your anesthesia down here, too late
