Demonic Song

Demonic Song

Night, like a black cat, staring at the passing day--
Her word will slowly spread  and cast a sway,
darkly lit,
spreading a web
over the unsuspecting universe
led into her reign of grey
"Now is my time to invade and slay
the lingering traces of light
I am the demon. fascinating and bright,
mesmerizing in the dark, my cloak shines
I come to hunt and prey upon
innocence, prayers and all that seeks to find refuge
in the arms of love and the warmth of fire
that burns weakly now that i come, to hurt with a lure and a song
Stay dumb and back away
O you tongue of stars,
or watch me march,
not in stealth, but full ahead in my intriguing sway
upon all that holds to the light of the day.
Hang low, O torch of the heart,
not in shame, but in defeat,
or else, drop your shield
and recede.
I must find my way."
