Daylight Full of Night
How can this daylight be full of night
and the globe deflate on this unreliable plight
because yesterday above the roses the sun had hung bright
all the joy now seems out of sight, out of lives
the world is doomed in this nightlight
for the day hasn't come in years and never might
All men pray, children fly kite
oblivious of the end in this mythical light
End of love, end of the world, end of the daylight
trusting this imitation by few Antichrists
Men may die overwhelmed by regret and fright
That they had never seen the daylight
Because the days of darkness were not days but nights
