Some nights I stand at the deck rail To watch the day burn out across the lake. Behind me darkness devours the remnants of the Waking world; transforming what we know Into things we fear.
The waves, here all my lifetime, Are gone leaving only the Growl and hiss of an angry, unseen beast.
The flaccid light of the moon is no help As it sends shadows like twisted beings from A nightmare racing from structures I thought could be trusted.
Even the wind blows colder, sending a shiver Down my back as I stand tense in the belly of the night
I think, therefore I am not digested by night… Unless the morning fails, as one day it must. I hope this is not be what the endless will be, I want what the nuns promised.
