These Are My Friends

I am a creature of the night,

Bright lights and dark skies,

I live within this time,

The rev of the engine,

The looks from the others,

We own this night,

This is our time,

 

Speak whisper scream,

Say what you wish,

Read what you think

Think will make you like me,

But you can’t beat us,

You can’t win,

This is our time,

 

The book is on the table,

Your mouth open in awe,

We surprise you

Blast you

A storm of our own,

A speed you can’t touch,

 

We are the night,

We are this time,

Don’t forget

You won’t forget us,

We dim the stars

Draw the noise,

We take our right

To sit in a throne                              

Of red and white,

 

We are speed,

The vibration you feel

Coming from the very ground,

I am a creature of the night

And these are my friends,

We storm this time,

This time of bright lights and dark skies,

 

So speak whisper scream,

Do what you think you must

To get even close enough to touch us,

But we are the speed,

The noise,

The beat,

The blur of red and white

That just passed you,

 

This is our time,

We. Are. Night.
