... who thought of this song.... Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark (Video is a cool version of this song sung live in Rio) On a more serious note though, Dark covers all manner of sins. You "get away with" things in the dark. Light exposes faults, and mistakes and wrong choices and evil. It allows us to see. See what? Real intentions, truth. We talk of exposing lies as "bringing to the light of day..." Light does not allow us to hide. Who we really are is exposed for all to see. Shadow is tricky because it's half light. In Shadow we can be tricked into thinking we see all when in reality what we see is only part of the picture. Shadow is where good intentions are bent into bad outcomes by evil.
Where there's life there's hope, and need of vittles. ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

In general, that's it. But Tolkien will not go gently into that bad night...

Elves, who awakened when the stars were kindled, love the Night.
