Nihilist Dawn

There shall never be another dawn…
Never another day to greet your family 
Or hold the ones you love dear
You will never know the coming nightmare
Or look into the eyes of damnation 
Never greet a great new day with optimism. 
Or know a benevolent god. 

There shall never be another dawn. 
Never again read the writing on the wall. 
Never watch a great play of humanities tragedies
Never feel the golden rays of a setting sun
Or stroll the moonlit beaches under the watchful eye of a silver moon

There shall never be another dawn.
No more radio, no more broadcast of television 
Or digital streaming of data across a worldwide Web. 
Your nation’s will be memory, your leader's ash. 
Gone are the petty squabbles of infantile Presidents. 

There shall never be another dawn
Forget your faith in an empty deity of crosses and bleeding scared hearts. 
Or bald men deep in their inner universes. 
Forget all you have learned, all the books you have read. 
Never dream dreams again. 
No more tears. 
No more suffering. 
No more nightmares. 
Horrors. 
Or despair. 
There shall never be another dawn.
