Angel of the Night


Forsaken angel of the night
Forever cut off from the light
Doomed to haunt unholy ground
A soul lost, never to be found

The slightest movement in the air
A shadow that isn’t really there
A swift rush, a deadly kiss
A few seconds of ecstatic bliss

A truth few dare speak aloud
Behind closed doors, cowed
A legend that still walks, undead
Leaving behind the fear it bred
