(one of my favorites)

Death of Night

The stars of night reflect angels’ cries
The last hope in the darkness brightly shines
Night is quiet and soundly dreaming
Offering peace to the mind in silent screaming
Shadows whisper their gentle lullabies

Keep the dawn at bay but a moment more
Keep the garish light, its wretched golden gore
It burns my eyes with shame, turn my face away
Let my soul rest in the night, let it forever stay
Such suffering have I ever lived through before

My love, my night, slain by the sun
Betrayed me, seared me, with the rising dawn
