I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.

Night, the mother of fear and mystery,
was coming upon me.

Now I'm going into darkness
trying to find my light
my heart is like an eclipse
every hour's midnight
Feel like time is running out
I need to break free
cos I'm going into darkness
and you're the only one who can't see

God made night
But
Man made darkness.

The strange amber twilight I’d lived with was gone, and in its place was some terrible new brightness. I’d gone from feeling lost in a dream to lost in wakefulness, as if I might never sleep again.

What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness.

I am not the light, I am the night; but a flame stabs through my entrails and consumes me. I am the night devoured by light.

I found myself within a forest dark,

The pictures, with their ruddy light, Are changed to dust and ashes white, And I am left alone with night.

i kept running away
from my darkness
until i understood
that in it i would
find my freedom

This thing of darkness I
Acknowledge mine.

I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.

Night came, but unattended with repose.
Alone she came, no sleep their eyes to close.
Alone and black she came; no friendly stars arose.

I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.
What hours, O what black hoürs we have spent
This night!
