Void Walker

Older than even the oldest star Born before the dawn of time Never sleeping, always moving Their name defies language Physical rules have never applied The origins too ancient Malevolence seen, never forgotten Cruelty and malice born of pure darkness The living, watching shadow Their touch is made of fear They don’t even need to attack The light eventually goes out There is no way to fight it The dark mother brings her own The flickering light of a candle Only temporary So for all your valiant conquest And things you think you gain The coming night awaits you After the final cry of pain One of many, and all are one Come from a place so alien With the memories of trillions of lifetimes They continue to watch and take A hidden army, vast beyond numbers That does not need to invade Because they’ve always been here, beyond the light Walking the void forever The cold beneath the freezing The absence of light which lives The essence of nightmares The reaping force of the other side There is no way to fight it The dark mother brings her own The flickering light of a candle Only temporary So for all your valiant conquest And things you think you gain The coming night awaits you After the final cry of pain
