In the dark we can be who we are

but once dawn strikes we are reborn

In our womb of cacophonous safety

reality ripped and shred and torn

bleed them dry take no prisoners

leave them writhing on the floor

begging for their life for what it's worth

no longer human anymore

kneel before thy majesty

lest you'll be left beaten and sore

we are the children of the night

you are the keepers of the day

this is our only afterlife

waking up to the final ray

you can't go out unless its safe

a stake and cross and then you die

heaven cast and cursed to walk alone

souls ever entrapped in stone

take me through the door of pageantry

I can see the sky is grey
