veiled in darkness

Amongst the discord of falling rain,
And the dark, lightning lit backdrop.
Stands he who sees all pain,
The one who makes time stop.
He is here, the one veiled in darkness.
His name brings with it fright,
Mortal hearts start racing,
As they think of his world of night,
And his relentless chasing.
He is here, the one veiled in darkness.
He goes by many names,
But is known by all far and wide.
For your soul he aims,
On his deathly night ride.
He is here, the one veiled in darkness.
Once your candle burns out,
And your fountain run dry.
Accept your mortal drought.
Your time is nigh.
He is here, the one veiled in darkness.
