The Haunt Of Night Child

Outside the rain falls 

And the child lies cold at the end of man

Hope is but a whisper 

To him now in his presence

His eyes see you 

For they see threw windows

Who will sit with him now

And count shell's

Always shell's

Hell's memories by and by

Crying sometimes 

Alone in the dark

Cold feet and cold bones

Shivering lips whispering sorrows

To a howling moon

Listen help him

For when you sleep

He will but creep from there till dream

And leave

Leave your waking soul with nothing

And in your emptiness as you stare

Spellbound by the morning mirrors prayer

What have you found

Ohh what have you found

But the eye's of the night child

Gazing upon

Watching

Standing just behind

The love you cherish

Asking in a silent voice

Come follow

Come follow me 

For I have the key

To unlock this

I will not dwell!

For I am not thees dwelling

Cold feet and cold bones are mine as well

What have you done ohh dwelling stranger

Dark eyes!!!

Etched in my head

Like caves of hell

To which none have returned

An unseen spell

Cast upon life

This devil that watches

From unknown shadows

Has brought death to my door

And this memory

This curse

Is my cross

Crucify my soul 

Ohh Lord of the night child

For I live no more!!!

I live no more!!!
