Darkened Days

The desire of the world is to destroy all dreams. 
When the clocked ticked this didn't change. 

A child of many was stripped of limbs. 
Left in dark water, but knew not how to swim 

Coldness emerged like a foggy desire. 
In the core was a hungry light

Consuming all didn't happen over night. 
Little by little darkness changed

A beacon opened, and all drew near. 
They tore it down in confusion and fear 

If a creature licks its own tongue
Its flesh will become bones. 

One night all shone. 
At last the fright
