Night falls, the daylight dying
Like a coiling dark snake
A sudden appearance though slowly writhing
And I am drowning in its wake
The black cloaks came too soon
I follow the path of a waning moon
The glistening rain is like shattered glass
Starlit like the eyes of beasts
Is there a way out of this nightmare fast
A return to the silken dreams
The black cloaks came too soon
I follow the path of a waning moon
The high hopes fell like heavy stones
On this my road to ruin
Inglorious journey wearing on my bones
Damn that sullen end I am pursuing
The air is shrill and cold
Nowhere to run
The silken dreams of old
Are gone
The black cloaks came too soon
I follow the path of a waning moon
