On Death's Shoulder We Cry

Midnight runs through my veins,
Midnight embraces my twisted soul.
I long for Earth-shattering rains,
To cover my dark patrol.

I cannot be seen, I cannot be heard.
However, my friend, it is you I come to reap.
No matter how mean, no matter how absurd,
It is you, my friend, that I hear weep.

I have many names and many a guise
But fear not, my friend, for today we only dance.
Look yonder, for there sits your demise
But fear not, my friend, for today we only dance.

Midnight will become thy kin,
Midnight embraces thy twisted soul.
Beware, the ice beneath wears thin.
To stay alive, my friend, is your only goal.
