H ow the dark of night devours

A ll souls who gather near

L onging to reach their destiny

L iving, yet no longer here

O therworldly, seeking shadows

W hen the light of day resigns

E ver frightening in their disguise

E phemeral glow ignites their eyes

N onphysical spirits, at midnight, shine
