When night falls, after a long hard day
And we no longer wish to schmooze
We find ourselves a real comfy spot
Lay our heads down and just snooze

The sound of the rain against the window pane, like a constant knocking. Loved ones from above, trying to come in. Let me open the window…
I’m awake at this ungodly hour and it is raining. Usually it lulls me to sleep, but not tonight. Too much on my mind, so I will just lie here and listen. Join me, won’t you?

It’s 3AM and I’m still awake
I walk to the window and pull back the drape
And stare at a moonless starlit sky
And wonder aloud, why is it I
Cannot find the sleep I so desperately crave
These thoughts overtake me, to a point where I cave
And slink back to my desk like a cat on the prowl
After all, it is why I am called the Night Owl

I’m afraid, to close my eyes
Though sleep takes over me
It’s when the dead awaken
And I’m no longer free to be
They’re coming at me, running
Demons find the easiest way
To be spiteful, in their glory
And these thoughts, I can’t allay
They beckon to my very soul
To follow where they roam
And I fall helpless to their plea
A ghastly place, this catacomb
Try though I might, to wrestle away
They keep me close, so I can’t breathe
Red eyes, thumping evil hearts
Shooting fire, as they seethe
Inescapable, in their clutches
I try my best, these thoughts, to quell
Yet I cannot overcome the darkness
I’ve lost the battle, in this living hell

The sun lights the sky, sets a radiant flame
Now falling to slumber, from whence she came
The night covers over, and all else is forsaken
As he nestles her sweetly, until she awakens
