The other side of Midnight
Conceal the masks we wear
By day I wear my untrue face, a blank screen
Unseen in light
By night my true self emerges...masked.
Find me dwelling behind the curtain darkly
Encased in black cloaks of mystery
Within the other side of Midnight...
Where no one knows my name.
In veil and shadow, where serpents tempt,
There, I cling to the last Vestiges of light
as I slither betwixt the slivers of night
Where fangs lunge forth...thirsting
Eager - my flame to extinguish...I bite
My Evil consumed soul grins beneath the mask
Watching me Sip the fruit of the dark vine
My Black sins awaken - Rising slowly...to
The other side of shadowy night
Where Forever lurks, and...
Evil blooms unholy.
I dare not remove the mask...
Dare not expose my shame
I must stay hidden...for tomorrow
I wear a different mask
Returning to sin once more.
My damnable shame forgotten.
In this state of mystery
God and the Devil vie for my soul
Sadly, I may already be lost to the dark side
Masks of temptation thrill me so
I fear I shall remain here
On the other side of midnight
Behind a mask which clings...Darkly.
