The Edge

 Beware of me, for I learn from the Night

His students adopt a different wrong and right

His virtues are rage, paranoia and violence

And here in the dark, they make perfect sense.

 

Can you see darkness falling my friend?

The shadows dance in my mind again

You know the darkness but have much to learn

you still don't know how stop its return

 

This line and verse is a dangerous song

All the rules change when the fading light’s gone

Our pride and our strength we think will forestall

The raging madness that summons the Fall.

 

There are efforts and promises all in abundance

As you still pretend I’m still who you saw

That person now lives only in dreams

And I am no longer what I may seem

 

Because some have learned the strength of the Night

And whether it’s wrong or whether it’s right

They will return to the light’s domain

But in the end, some shall remain.

 

I want nothing more than to save you from danger

Even though we are now nothing but strangers

Do you not see the darkness could claim you?

Can you not imagine who you might change to?

 

For if the Night claims you, your dreams will end

The people who loved you will run now and then

And though they might hear you when you should call

You too shall learn… you can’t stop the Fall.

 

They’ll trust you completely until they do not.

As little by little the Night twists your thoughts

The Night will consume us, in that we can trust

Long after both you and our friendship is dust.

 

There’s no one to help and no one to blame

No hero nor tonic to make us more sane

No matter your strength you cannot forestall

All on your own? You can't stop the Fall.
