Fly, fly midnight
Language: English
Fly, fly midnight,
Fly in secret depths of shadow,
Void and formless without substance
You must flee for your safety from the coming daylight
Soon it will come to burn your leather wings
Run, midnight, run with all your might but
There is no escape for you are doomed to fall
I hear your wings thrashing
Sunlight has found you, sunlight does hold you
Writhing in its arms,
You are shadow fading
Void and formless without substance
You begin to fade
Farewell midnight,
sleep unawakened forgotten night.
