Dead of Night

Playing the song Moonlight (click here) by Kamelot about 10 times at max volume would probably "inspire" just about any would-be writer, and that's where these lyrics came from. In fact, might a very familiar pattern be seen here? Yeah I wrote this to go with that song. The first and third lines just started rolling around in my head, and then I got two verses and a bridge and chorus easily enough. But the rest of it was a little bit of a struggle. So is there too much rhyme anywhere? Like maybe in the second (extended) bridge? ... "When I read back the history..."

Now I know exactly how I need to feel
Behind your promise there was nothing real
The truth is clear because it's written on the wall
Now we watch the endless darkness fall

But as I grope for sanity
It will not be the end of me

Dead of night
The only life you knew
Out of sight
You could tear my heart in two
You took the moonlight
And you gave it all away
Is there nothing, nothing at all left to say?

He was "nothing" just a nothing kind of friend
But when he knocked you always let him in
To steal your secrets and the words you held for me
You only thought that I would never see

When I read back the history
I don't know what I should see
But as I grope for dignity
It will not be the end of me

Dead of night
The only life you knew
Out of sight
You could tear my heart in two
You took the moonlight and
You gave it all away
And there is nothing, nothing at all left to say

You took the dice of chaos as your game
But the dice just would not roll the same
A pair of two came up as less than one
Turned the chaos into pandimonium

But as you grope for sanity
It will not be the end of me

Dead of night
The only life you knew
Out of sight
You could tear my heart in two
You took the moonlight and
You gave it all away
And is there nothing, nothing at all left to say?

(repeat)

I intentionally didn't write lines of my own for the 2/4 lines that start at 3:25 in the song. I just don't have anything good to use there
