Night in Shining Armour(Kanishka Roy) My being longs to reveal itself,

But light crawls through my skin,
Asks my fingers where they've been,
Running through my soddy breast,
Or slipping through the Phoenix Nest.

My being longs to reveal itself,

But the monster's screams break my soul,
They keep warm, as I burn like coal,
I'm a cruel game they like to play,
The dusk loudly whispers, ' They're here to stay'.

My being longs to reveal itself,

But burning incense and a red-lit room,
Remind me of my impending doom,
I stay mum as the monsters shout,
All the while eating my insides out.

My being finally reveals itself,

So I wait until my love has reached,
Killing the maggots, through my crevices breached,
My love, my night, my healing bark,
No he isn't evil, only darkness is dark.
