THE RESTLESS NIGHT
In the dark they’re sneaking creeping
In the dark they lie in wait
In the dark while you are sleeping,
Subtle sound… you’re now awake
In the darkness eyes are spying
In the darkness setting traps
In the darkness restless lying,
Tick-tick-tick as time unwraps
In the night of stillness falling
In the night of groaning walls
In the night imagination,
Phantoms sweeping down the halls
Just before the sun arises
Just before the break of dawn
Just before the Nox¹ disguises
All is lost…all is gone
¹Nox – Roman goddess of night; daughter of Erebus.
