The Owl Does Not Sleep

Why! Does the day forsake the one who loves it so?
Why! Am I the one it loathes, its hatred shows?
No rest for I, for I come alive, when the night has reached its peak
I'll tell you, why I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why

You! Are so perverse you know my ways, you say
You! Are the one who makes me hate to live this way
No rest for I, for I come alive when the dark restores my strength
I'll tell you why
I'll tell you why
I'll tell you why

The Owl Does not sleep
The Owl Does not sleep
The Owl Does not weep
The Owl Does not weep

When the Moon is high, it lets me know my time has come
When the slaves are silent, the world is muted
We'll meet the celestial one
No rest for I, for I come alive, when the day has died again
I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why

The Owl Does not Sleep
The Owl Does not Sleep
The Owl Does not Weep
The Owl Does not Weep

I saw the morning Sun rise again
Sleepless am I, no longer wayward sent
No path remains clear in apathetic throes
No sign of life in melancholic notes

I saw the morning Sun rise again
Sleepless am I, no longer wayward sent
No dream has matured in my stasis low
Doubtful and lost, shall I abandon hope?

I! Will dwell in the shade of day that hates me so
I! Will make my way at the height of the nocturne glow
No rest for I, for I come alive, when I meet the Maiden White
I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why
