Let the light be consumed by the dark.
Let the good be extinguishes by the dark.
Let the pain be freed by the dark.
Let the cold be embrassed by the dark.
Let me be the dark.
The dark that makes them pray for morning.
The dark of the
starless,
moonless,
lightless,
hopeless,
lonley night.
And let me show them all how scary the dark can truly be.

Whoa! That was actually really good... the last line is what really sold it for me, though. Something about how it just ends there makes the line so abrupt and... powerful.
