Maybe I shouldn't listen to songs entitled "Devil Bunnies" whilst writing.    

Once, I would have embraced the rays of the sun...
Sadly now, the time has past and those days are done.
For I have forsaken the light and accepted the dark, you see.
To stay shrouded in shadow, wrapped in secrets, and cloaked in mystery.          

Biding my time, gathering knowlege, and gaining power,
Staying my hand and watching my steps, awaiting the final hour.
When all will be exposed for what it is, and all souls are laid bare.
Taking sure, proud strides, as the world awakens and becomes aware.          

When man realises that things can be settled with more than fists.
Wounds will have time to heal and rage dies in cool, swirling mists.
Acknowledging all they can be and reaching for the distant, shining stars.
Thinking no more of warring, killing, fighting, and making painful scars.
