When you close your eyes, Eternal Midnight Catches up to you, and with her Dark Night voice, She sings, Come away with me, and I Will grant you Eternal Dreams, Magic things, She sings; She sings, Come away with me, and remember. She forgets, being immortal, the terrors That lurked in the shadows of your childhood. Come away with me, She sings, Come away with me, and forget. Resolute, you square your shoulders. Sweet tea! Porch swings... (she sings, she sings) ...and other bits of memories from the daylight. Still, memories and fears are stronger than fragile trust- And by the time she sings again, you will have turned to dust.

She forgets, being immortal, the terrors That lurked in the shadows of your childhood. Come away with me, She sings, Come away with me, and forget. Resolute, you square your shoulders. Sweet tea! Porch swings... (she sings, she sings) ...and other bits of memories from the daylight. Still, memories and fears are stronger than fragile trust- And by the time she sings again, you will have turned to dust.
