I was humming this song while re-reading 'Mister Monday' and couldn't believe how much the lyrics applied to Monday's Dusk. It works a lot better without my additions.
-------------------
No sleepNo sleep until I'm done with finding the answer
Won't stop
Won't stop before I find the cure for this cancer
Monday and the Morrow Days have gone too far. I agree that I have done precious little in the past to stop them, but they are stronger than I. I cannot control the Morrow Days, or even Monday – but perhaps I may stop Noon or Dawn.
Sometimes I feel like going down, I'm so disconnected
Somehow I know that I am haunted to be wanted
I can feel the Will calling to me; we are not meant for this lie, this existence that betrays everything the Creator desired.
I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life
I have stood behind Monday for too many aeons, peering into the world from the shadows. I will not stand there any longer.
They say that I must learn to kill before I can feel safe
But I, I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slaveI won't serve the corrupt Trustees any more. I cannot fight the Nithlings in the knowledge that we have let them in.
Sometimes I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder
Nothing will change without effort. I must devote myself to the Will, and aid the Heir. He is the only hope we have: no Denizen could fulfil the Will now that the Trustees have gone back on their word.
I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life
Lately, I've been walking, walking in circles
Watching, waiting for something
Feel me, touch me, heal me
Come take me higher
My loyalty has been rewarded. I will lurk in the shadows no more: I have become Noon.
I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life
I've been watching,
I've been waiting,
I've been searching,
I've been living,
for tomorrows...
In the shadows...
In the shadows...
I've been waiting...
