From chaos came a wound unsealed Gaia laid the bones beneath the field Erebus weighed the void with stone Tartarus groaned beneath the throne Eros sparked the ache of flame Nyx stepped forth, and named the name She shaped the dark, she veiled the scar Shadow bent where her footsteps are And I will walk through dusk again With sleep behind and sorrow as a friend She moves where light forgets to stay The veil remains, but I won’t look away From her came sleep to soften weight Death to sink in Erebus’s gate Sorrow carved the edge of form Strife lit stars in quiet storm Each force she touched, none held her reign She crossed the sky through dusk and strain And I will walk through dusk again With sleep behind and sorrow as a friend She moves where light forgets to stay The veil remains, but I won’t look away Affection glows where night allows Justice settles in her house Fate spins threads beneath her breath Day steps in, but not to death So I will walk through dusk again With breath that holds what light won’t mend She watches where the edges sway The veil remains, and I choose to stay
