The moon shines bright where the nights are long

Predators come out

Each to his own as the hunt begins

Beggars cant be choosers

Prey run scared, why should they care?

The night time eats their babies

Pump out the shells which blow away

All the helpless faeries

All the blackened tears which close the doors

Open for our families

The dogs of night bark their song

The jackal never hears them

A rainbow made of black and white

Bleeding endless lies

To the cheshire cat and mockingbird

We give you all our lives

A midnight vigil burns in sorrow

The last flames flicker low

Haunted restless faces echo on

The solemn cries of shadows

Through the night of the jackal

The potential of pain, before never known

Rapes the stillborn child of reason

Drinking deep the red wine of careworn misery

A last swansong appealing and denied

Judge, jury, executioner

The jackal bays into the night

A triumphant windtorn sound
