Dont stare into the abyss
Or it will gaze back
Dont eat the fruit
After it has gone bad
Dont wander out late at night
Or youre sure to find a sight
Far more dangerous than you can defend from
Dont stand on the boards not monitored
Dont go too deep into the city
Dont step on grates or too close to doors
Dont ever take a shortcut through the back alleys
I stared into the sky
I stared past the stars
I stared and wondered why
The abyss never did me harm
I screamed out to the gods of my family
I screamed and begged and cried
I screamed, but god never heard me
But the abyss heard me cry
The whispers of the starless sky
Made magik to dry my eyes
The evils of the night
Gave me the justice i was too weak to fight for
Outcast from the mainstreets
Ive taken the back alleys
Outcasts i was told were cruel
But outcasts have always helped me carry
My weight around the world
The sun has hurt my eyes
The sun had left me blind
But i have healed in moonlight
The night is always kind
I have found sights of disaster
I have found sights which might kill some
I have found men dismembered
By the daylight they could not escape from
The wolves hunt at night
The owls coo in shadows
The worms come out at night
And you watch through a window
The wolves are sure to bite
The wolves are dangerous, i know
The wolves and i are alike
And the wolves like to be pet
Beware your step when walking in the dark
Beware your step when walking at night
Careful your step when walking unarmed
Around the mainstreets in the daylight
The prism need not fear the sun
The oak will grow with its light
But many flowers wither and burn
And many flowers can only blossom at night
I screamed into the abyss
And it called back
I listened to its voice
And i have followed its path
There is no saving me now
There is no reason to try
Ive been taken by the ghosts now
Ive been kidnapped by the night
But maybe just maybe
I was always born an outcast
