Naked In the Dark

Naked in the dark, love dying all alone.
A young boy left to die so I can’t really 
call this my home.

Young nurses lose their lives and the 
country turns a blind eye.
A clap, a cheer, a thanks for you and 
your colleagues having to die.

Naked in the dark, blind to what is 
there.
A country run on hate, deceit, lies 
and despair.

The government built on lies prolongs 
the agony we must bear. The UK chooses 
to die and the country doesn’t care.
