Darkness

THEY COME IN DARKNESS

"Working with people who study and rehabilitate wild animals was the inspiration for 'Coyote Song' and 'They Come In Darkness'. I believe it is vital for all of us to learn more about wild animals and nature. Ignorance leads to misunderstanding and abuse."

They come in darkness ~ an undeserved reputation precedes them

Many myths ~ much misinformation it follows them

Supposed carriers of disease ~ the result of lies through the centuries

Through this they will die ~ just the same as you and I

Delicate wings like the fingers of your hand

With fine silk spread between them

We fear them just because we do not understand

Though most have never truly seen them

They make their homes in dark places ~ in caves or among the rocks and trees

Sometimes they live near people ~ in buildings or under houses eaves

Because of fears from our childhood ~ we equate the darkness with evil

And so these timid creatures in our minds become monsters

Blind & blood-thirsty they prey on people

Delicate wings like the fingers of your hand

With fine silk spread between them

We fear them just because we do not understand

Though most have never truly seen them

The time has come for us to learn ~ throw away our childish fears

Wash away the filth, the filth of ignorance ~ gathered like dust for years and years

Step into the light of scientific information ~ do not pre-judge what you have not seen

A change of attitude like a new revelation

Take a closer look and you’ll know what I mean

Delicate wings like the fingers of your hand

With fine silk spread between them

No more fears for what we do not understand

We’ll take the time to truly see them

They come in darkness ~ they come in darkness
