Gaslit Skies

Do believe the truth we tell you
Don't believe your lying eyes
Say the mocking birds now calling
Filling these dark gaslit skies

While the children all around us
Reaching up with open arms
Wonder if we’ll protect them or
Leave them to a world that harms

As this force of darkest evil
Winks within us as we sleep
Leading our minds into chaos 
Dawn will free us from the deep
