Darkness did not come casually into the world
It clawed and tore it’s way in

There was no heavenly ring
No angels trumpeted its arrival

Darkness leapt from the shadows
Poured down from eternal depth

The entrance was not a magical moment
When darkness entered, silence followed

Time did not stand still to watch it pass
It fled in terror

Darkness hunted it into submission
Harnessed it and called it it’s own

Darkness caused the light to submit
Demanded equal share of the sky

Now Time is a slave to Darkness
Forced to keep pace with Dark’s arrival

Darkness broke the sun
Chased away the warmth

It swallowed us all
Coveting its domain

We are visitors in it’s midst
Caught in a void of light

Blindly making our way down the path of stars
Eagerly pursuing the capture of light

What has been released, will not be contained
Never will it fit in shadows again

Darkness brought heightened awareness
A keen observance of inner demons

It released our fears
To torment and terrorize us

The dark now reigns over the night
Passing judgment on sources of light

It shouts its dominance through the night
Ravaging those who cling to light

Darkness brought with it, two companions
Silence and Fear

The unholy trinity
Bound to hold sway over us all

Where one is found
The others are also

Lurking and preying
Where light fears to tread

There is no sleep for the three
No time to bask in the chaos they sow

They have a world to conquer
A planet to dominate
