The Twilight sky

Well He
Sat beside a blazing field
The sky was fire, streaked with lightning bolts
And the trees were tumbling
As if to run away

In the howling wind I heard a spectral whisper say:

"My name is Twilight
And I'm here to show you what it is I do for fun
I shoot fire from my eyes
'Cause I love the look on your clueless faces as you run
I am the Twilight sky
And I've come to drag you a little closer to the end
Saddle up, I'll take you for a ride
And you'll see what's outside that tiny box you've been living in

Because I've witnessed each one of you
Tiptoeing down noisy halls
And I've kept count of your every flaw
I'll darken rooms, alter moods
Generalize in being cruel
Take you out of your shell and straight to the grave
All before the clocktower strikes twelve.

My name is Twilight
Not Father or Lord
Don't kneel or pray
Or it'll be the last syllable you ever shout

I'm the reason why you shiver and shake lying awake in your bed
All the trends that you follow
All the herbs that you swallow
To make it go smooth will all soon be meaningless

Because
I am
The Twilight sky

Penned by my hand on the 23rd of Ero, in the year 956 AF.
