There was a darkness
it sat alone but not lonely
it hurt so much like pleasure
it spat and writhed in extasy

yet it was the monster and the man

Spurred on by the nightghasts
it screamed in the voice of the damned
shunning the lights limited vision
For the light could only see inside itself
while darkness went on forever

yet it could not escape from the chasm

The watchmen held it down
he stood over its grave and posted guard
Eternal vigilance to hold what cant be held
Yet even sometimes the watchmen must sleep
For then the darkness will return

When it comes beware for it is in you and me
Eternally

So won't you sing me a rainbow Josie roll me a song
Just tonight make it right 'cause it's been wrong for oh so long
