So many people are beginning their rest
But I'm just stirring from out my nest
I stretch my arms bats stretch wings
Somewhere in the dark an owl sings
Out'a my door and into the night
Finding my way by moons clear light

Carpe Noctum Sieze the night

So many children afraid of this time
Others use to hide their crimes
The night is blooming dark rose
Beautifull flower with wonders to show
From the shadows some run then whisper lies
If only they could see the night through my eyes

Carpe Noctum Sieze the night
Carpe Noctum Sieze the night

No reason to cower or to run in fear
There's no monsters lurking here
Only we of darkness born
We'll retire when come the morn
So Carpe Noctum Sieze the night
And maybe then you'lll see the light

Carpe Noctum Sieze the night
Carpe Noctum Sieze the night
Dark rose with wonders to show
Come see the night through my eyes...
