Light in Darkness
Hope in Despair
Ancient soldiers
Wages war
Seeking honor
Seeking loyalty
Giving everything
To fight this war
Angels in the night
Looking down upon
The battle field
Giving courage and strength
To these brave warriors
Who battles for thier kin
No matter what the cause
Arise, Arise
Ready for battle
For the night wains
And day has come
The foe stirs in their tents
Fight now for your people
Brave hearts do not despair
For the day shall come
When the battle ends
So fight now
By strong of arm
Stand with courage
Stand with honor
While angels looks down
To protect you this day
Because life is a meaningless death
It march towards certain oblivion
And that which is no more as time flies by
And death marches closer
Into oblivion we all slip
A cold and dreamless sleep
Evermore a hidden dream
Which I long for in order to rest
And sleep without a dream
To trouble me I shall go forth
Into oblivion evermore
I shall travel in this meaningless
Existence until the last day
Comes forth to set me free
From this life without meaning
With the fading of twilight I awaken
To the darkness that is my life, my world
A creature of the night I was born
To be shrouded by the darkness
That is my protection and my salvation
For only in the night am I whole
Alone and misunderstood by all
Except by my kindred, my brethren
I whose life is sustained is sustained
By the life energy of others
Feared because I am different from others
Surrounded by myth and legends
Yet different then the assumptions others made
For I do not wish harm to come to them
My nature is not like what others think
And yet live in the dark of night
Covered by lies and half truths
I must live a dark life, unknown to others
For others can not see me for who I am
There is a beauty
That lies with in Death
From the darkness
A light shines forth
To finally give to me
The freedom I long for
A freedom of eternal sleep
For now I am free of this world
With its meaningless life
Filled with suffering and strife
In Death I will find sanctuary
In Death I will find Life
