eternal night
Never-ending polar dark
Eternal night describes darkness without end—either literally, as in polar regions during winter or on tidally locked planets where one side never faces its star, or figuratively for death, oblivion, or despair.
The phrase carries poetic weight, evoking finality and the absence of hope: The poet wrote of souls lost to eternal night.
In fantasy and horror, eternal night often means a world where the sun has been extinguished or blocked.
