Lament For The Night

Lament the passing of the gentle dark
Where silence reigns and the stars hold court
Lament the dawn that shines so bright
A harsh and strong retort

Lament the loss of all that was
The soft gentle glow of the moon
Lament the sun that rises fast
And over us does loom

Lament the light, the breaking dawn
And all that brings with it
Lament the scorching heat and light
That turns the earth to grit

Lament the night that was
Now lost for all of time
Lament the newborn day
For all its heinous crimes
