House, your piece reminded me of the words to these two songs.

Creatures Of The Night

by KISS

Searching in the darkness, running from the day

Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say

Victims of the moment, future deep in doubt

Living in a whisper until we start to shout

We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night, hey

Breathing in the madness, spitting out the lies

Searching for an answer, keep your alibis

Don't know where we're goin', just know where we've been

Remember when the clock strikes twelve, the losers always win

We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night, hey

Searching in the darkness, running from the day

Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say

Gathering up our courage, ready for the fight

Howling in the shadows until we start to bite

We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night

Creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night

 

The Night

by Voltaire

The day is the wife whom I elude

the one to whom I should be right

although forewarned by peers and kin

I always get into the night

Mother always warned me such

being a nocturnal soul besides just being simply strange

spawns from some illness of the mind

The night, she calls meshe calls me,

she calls me she calls me, she calls me

She sways in her velvet dress and pulls me towards her in the dark

while the others rest

Heed the call the time has come

for all you children of the night

Gather 'round like suckling dogs

mother's come she is the night

Come with me to the other side

Make the girl in black your bride

The night, she calls me she calls me,

she calls me she calls me, she calls me

She sways in her velvet dress and pulls me towards her in the dark

while the others rest

It just seems very strange to me

not her quiet lonely streets

and draped in all her mystery

could be so sweet and comforting

The night, she calls me she calls me,

she calls me she calls me, she calls me

She sways in her velvet dress and pulls me towards her in the dark

while the others rest

while the others rest

while the others rest

That's some serious shit up there.

Yay for necrophilia!  "Walk me to the graveyard, dig up her bones" because "dead girls don't say no."

I have a hard time picturing Lucifer begging.

Whatever works for you. ;-)

WEll you got a reaction -- just not what you expected.  Hee hee hee.  I figured it was meant to be darkly funny.

What the Hell -- sure.

'Twas at twilight dim --
B'neath the waves there came a hymn,
A lustrous chant -- daylight's vale
A shadow perch'd atop her sail.

Her bow betray'd by the absence of light
Her tomb ashore in the dead of night
A biting north-easterly gale
A shadow perch'd atop her sail

Her crew now wan by the chill of fright
Her crew now pallid b'neath -- star-light
O'er the wretch'd waters wail
A shadow perch'd atop her sail

Sullen skies and dismal shores
Abed upon the ocean floor -- a tomb forevermore!
No soul returned to tell the tale --
A shadow perch'd atop her sail.

Once a year b'neath the waves
Amongst the tombs inside their graves
They rise to play -- dance and Hail --
A shadow perch'd atop her sail.



Sit down b'side me -- that I might sing
A ballad of a maiden fair
'Twas b'neath the misty moon of spring
Sojourn on earth -- my earthly stare

She drift'd on beams of midnight's gleam
Her soul a swollen trunk
Her treasures vast -- so tells the lore
Her lapping waves beseech'd the shore.

'Twas my feet -- that she met
As she wash'd upon the shore
'Twas my feet -- that she ador'd
My soul at sea -- forevermore.

Mmmm.  Do you like Poe much? :-)

Ghastly ghouls of Castelul Bran
Your queen has come by night.
A facade of human flesh she bears
Is declined by the morning light.

Alas! No hymn to ward the weary
The many at rest are a feast for Marie
She stalks about the dead of night
Instilling a chill, an unforeseen fright

Your blood may be to her delight
A feast of plenty, the less - least any
Her charm -- the death of many
Until you greet dawn's welcome might

And you will have survived your plight
If you address dawn’s glorious knight
A jest to her is your smile for living
By dawn she will have her thanksgiving

To oceanus, for whom I gave my soul. 

Sit down b'side me -- that I might sing
A ballad of a maiden fair
'Twas b'neath the misty moon of spring
Sojourn on earth -- my earthly stare

She drift'd on beams of midnight's gleam
Her soul a swollen trunk
Her treasures vast -- so tells the lore
Her lapping waves beseech'd the shore.

'Twas my feet -- that she met
As she wash'd upon the shore
'Twas my feet -- that she ador'd
My soul at sea -- forevermore.

O'er the tempestuous tides there lies
A tomb, that tells the tale of a time.
A tale of untimely terror told
By an undead maiden atop her throne.
