Eternity

10.16.08

I walk into the night, moonlit
The autumn chill biting at my skin

This night it's I who will decide
The path in which my destiny lies

Tonight I choose when it'll turn to day
Symbol of warmth and love, so far away

As I walk beside the pumpkin patch
I wonder if this stroll will turn to be my last

Tonight's my night, for me the sun will wait
I roll the dice, this night I choose my fate
And as I walk alone into the night
I wonder why they're all so pale . . .

I walk into the silent forest
It says, “Hearken, child, come near.

“At night I such on your mortals' blood 
To keep myself alive.”

Its arctic lips close to my skin
Its arcane gift I couldn't resist.

And so I gave my life that night
The story I'll live on to tell.

Forever and ever, I'll love forever
But the dead ones that miss me will rot.

And so I'll live on, with sorrow and guilt
For it's with them I never will join

But here I'm eternal, I'll sing and dance
This time, the world's at my hands

Tonight's forever, and for me the sun will sleep.
I rolled the dice, that night I was set free.
And as I flew on through the night,
With a pensive smile I knew,

“With each dreaded second, I'll never grow old 
And that's why they're all so pale.”
