Light and Dark

While in the light The darkness cries The wounded sparrow sings The wolfhound yelps In hell he’s bound To hear a lifeless shriek Joys all fade And lightness dies The world does cease to sing Cold white snow That falls so pure Turns sickly red Right in my hands The world is dying I hear the crying It’s all so deafening With shrieks and screams The darkness gleams I try and cover my ears But the noises Just never seem to peak There’s nothing to do Nothing to say Life is slowly going to fade away Encased in darkness Light does scream A painful, blood-curdling sound My ear drums throb It’s done its job Humanity is cursed to hell
