Curse of the Night Walker

The curse of the Night Walker Ones who sought the traces of darkness Of world and of soul We see through the shades We know the blindness Some may be born Some may be dragged We know this darkness Better than most Daylight ignores us Cruelty cages us Even if we break free It never changes Day Walkers say they feel Sorrow and doubt When the Night Walker fades When most never knew what made us They pay a few kind words Then walk Day Walkers find it easy To move away from darkness Thinking candle light is enough To light the path When their flame is easy to extinguish Flowers pelt the fallen's final rest When petals wither Never do Day Walkers Have the burden of the souls Which still linger When the Day Walkers are blind To the flickers of light the soul that still remain The curse of the Night Walker Is that we know too well The sight of a lingering soul Bound to a world Where daylight seeks to hide us Rather than shelter us The curse of the Night Walker Is that we hear The shadows that continue to scream To the horrors they felt When they cast the form in which they became The blessing of the Night Walker Is that we also see The distant stars in the sky In which few of us see As the destiny of the Night Walker So we may guide others to the light
