I want to feel this way

I worship the night and despise the day

sleep brings escape from turmoil and pain

the accursed sun brings it back again

I sleep and dream, of kingdoms far away

I might be king, loved for a day

a life I choose, no despair or hate

with fear I will not ingratiate

when the darkness comes

I would not run

I am the man who lost the sun

my waking hour should have come

but I denied the warmth of rising sun

no more. to see the shadows fall

I walk a black horizons dawn
