Sweet Nite

Dark Daughter

Dark daughter, Dark daughter 

We sing to your fires 


Poor daughter

Your mother she bore you

Poor daughter

She died with your birth 


Child of one, sister of none 

Your father despised you 


In shackles of white 

Was your prison disguised 


Sweet girl you wanted to play

But an omen of ill were you

To all of your kin 


No boy nor girl 

Could ever like you 


Father of light 

You filled her with fright

Father of light 

Could you hear her spite? 


Bright father, bright father 

Wherever you went so to went the day

And wherever you left that was the night 


Cold night, black night

Blanket of freedom

You gave love to a maid 


Sweet daughter

Dark darling

What dreams did you have? 


Proud father, proud father 

You found her in shame 


Poor daughter, poor daughter

You are to blame

For all the bad things

He ever did say 


The pain of his brilliance

Scarred in your flesh

The truth that you knew 

Deep down in your bones 


Daughter?

No daughter

No daughter of his 


Shattered and small he left you to die

Alone in deep nothing you stayed 


But in your stay you grew 

Proud father brought days

But never to you


Wonders unknown, magics taboo, and mysteries unfound 

all unfolded to you 


But no secrets, no power, no wisdom 

ever undid the disgrace on your soul


Weaver of spells, Queen of dreams

Your life in abyss gave birth to your might 


Proud father, fool father

Your light couldn’t see

Fool father, poor thing

You thought yourself king 


Dark daughter, mother of slaughter

You created the rain

Dark mother, merciful queen

You gave shade to the earth 


Powerful Father

She came to your throne 

Her magic unbound 

By Vicious blood spite 


Strong Father she overpowered your light

Weak Daughter you finally won the fight



Mad Daughter, hard woman

You carved out his heart

Mad daughter, cruel monste

You bathed in his light


Dark Daughter you fled with your prize

Dark Daughter you frosted the harvest



Alone with his light you 

You mastered his magic



Kin of light you grieved your poor king

Vengeful cousins you marched to the night

With powerful tools well in your grasp


Heirs of the light you cast spears at the night

Beautiful warriors your cries became thunder



But Murderous child she took to the field

Queen of blood she slaughtered them all


Slain warriors, sad corpses your blood became stars

Dark daughter, Dark daughter you painted a mural


Queen Night, slayer of day

Your conquests unrivaled

Brought Death to the world



Wise Sage

Divine death 

You admired her art


Lord true of a thing, darker than dark

You gave peace to her heart

Killer of all you wedded a queen


Divine family you huddled in fear

Children of chaos you bargained with death

Wise master, wise master you heeded their pleas

Dark daughter, dark daughter

You respected his counsel


Dark Kin, keepers unknown

You struck a new deal

All heirs of the light you know your true master

All heirs of the light sing songs to our death



Dark daughter, Dark Daughter Queen of Death

Your kingdom reigns


Dark daughter you usurped your father


Dark Daughter, sister night, mother of red

See our quiet lights and hidden deeds

We heed your rites 

Speak now to our blood

And give grace to our black desires

That we may meet you in faithful cold dying
