I should fear you
You are the darkness
I�ve been warned about
I should shy from you
You are the evil
I�ve been warned about
I was told you were nighttime
They said that I should be afraid
I was told you�d take my soul away
They said I would be afraid�
How can anyone know what I know now
And not fall into your alabaster arms?
How could anyone run like they�re running now
After seeing you and feeling all your charms?
How could a whole world shudder at your voice?
Choosing between them and you isn�t a harsh choice.
I should hate you
You are the nightmare
I�ve been told of
I should kill you
You are the evil
I�ve been told about
They said you were murder
They said I should scorn your gaze
I was told you�d take my love away
But love is what you gave.
How can anyone know what I know now
And not fall into your emerald eyes?
How could anyone scream like they�re screaming now?
Why do they believe the lies?
How could a whole world shudder at the sight?
Why does everyone fear and hate the night?
Little children in our arms
Cry when sun goes down
Little mothers guard from harm
When the sun goes down
Little fathers speak the words
You hear them all say
�Morning glory, Nighttime horror
On nightfall, run away�
They said you were evil
They said that I should run
They said �Head for morning�
But I have no love for Sun.
They said you would kill me
They said you promised wrong
They said �Follow morning�
But with them I don�t belong.
How can anyone know what I know now
And not fall into your symphonic voice?
How can anyone damn like they damn now
Why am I alone in my choice?
How can anyone see what I am seeing
And not rejoice in the love you are
Why must I live alone in a night of beauty?
Why do they call on the light of a lesser star?
Away from the warnings that fall in a drone
Here with your shadows is where I am home.
