I was born in the night, and I wear its black veil
I'm reigning your fear, yet I hear something frail
But I'll never go back to what I can't recall
I am night, and I choose this fall
There's a whisper of light, but I'm turning away
I am the darkness, I live for the gray
You can keep your stars, I don't need to know
What's thick is deep inside, I'll never let grow
I deny the dawn, let the shadows take me
I am the terror that you'll never see
A piece of the past tries to tear me apart
But I bury the light deep in my heart
I am the night, I won't burn to the flame
The echoes of day won't whisper my name
You call it light, but I call it a lie
A cage of forever I refuse to try
I was forged in this void, and here I will stay
No angel's wings will carry me away
There's a whisper of light, but I'm turning away
I am the darkness, I live for the gray
You can keep your stars, I don't need to know
What flickers deep inside, I'll never let grow
I deny the dawn, let the shadows take me
I am the terror that you'll never see
A piece of the past tries to tear me apart
But I bury the light deep in my heart
I am the night, I won't burn to the flame
The echoes of day won't whisper my name
Light in the darkness, I turn it to dust
I am the storm and I feed on your trust
I rise in your nightmares, I won't be denied
But something inside me still dares to hide
I deny the dawn, let the shadows take me
I am the terror that you'll never see
A piece of the past tries to tear me apart
But I bury the light deep in my heart
I am the night, I won't burn to the flame
The echoes of day won't whisper my name
I deny the dawn, but the light won't stay gone
A shadow of memory still lingers too long
But I turn from the light, I am only the night
The echoes may call, but I'll never take flight
