Beware the Darklings

My father, he said unto me:
Beware the Darklings, take heed.
They are things of flesh and fire
touched and burnt with cold desire.

Your mother told you one last time:
Beware the Darklings, daughter mine,
darkness to fill an earthly hole.
They will tear your heart and rend your soul.

There is nothing so naive,
as the fools that they surely be.
Though 'tis plain before their eyes,
'tis not the truth they see, 'tis lies.

You and I, we are the same.
Human by manner, face and name.
But in the dark, where no-one sees,
Darkling twins, our nature free.

One of moon, one of earth.
Joined eternal by darkest birth.
Beware the Darklings, all of ye.
We will find you, where'er you be.
