Becoming Seeker of the Night

Centuries have passed My bloodline ready to find the next entity That lurks in the night From parent to child A gift is revealed to help battle the challenges That sneak through the lights of the stars Only one To my knowledge Has made it to main waters of history To be immortalized by the surf As a slime contaminating its clarity But like the poison of a spider on human flesh Death only builds, instead of the blind view of a cleansing That was centuries ago Now there is me Seeker of the night The world slowly gathering at my heels Centuries have passed My time had been sweetened Like the nectar of wine Everybody is drawn to its taste Once they brave the looks of its bottle Centuries have passed Waiting for that bottle to be opened Buried in the sands of time Revealed by an explosion Unveiling an ancient vault Centuries have passed Yet everything inside seemed so... Familiar Everything inside recognized me as well as everyone Faces renewed, faces new, and faces old Some most surprising From my angel of Earth to my Starlight Healer Centuries have passed Waiting for these moments Moments that saved me from the heaviest drops from the sky Moments that saved me from the devil's insanity Moments I rise in my own fight Creating a new race Centuries have passed Waiting for just one thread To lace into a steel rope To carry its spirits to a better light Am I ready for such a move? I AM
