darkness killed the light

the eyes of evil
blankly stare with hate and rage
the eyes of evil
judged then passed a death sentence
upon humanities fate

across sundays sand 
happy laughter turned to screams
across sundays sand
the innocent cried tears red
as the golden glow darkened

the tidal current 
swirled with hatred and despise
the tidal current   
flowed with the abysses darkness
to an enmity innate

the innocent died
to the dark hands of hatred
the innocent died
to the crackles echoing 
as they cut the sabbaths dusk

the shattered moments 
when all society mourns
the shattered moments
the white doves of peace tears fall
now, the pressure cooker boils
