Tonight Tonight

And so I wake from the sleep of a thousand years Clawing out from my eyes a desert of dried tears. And so I scream with a voice that is harsh broken Repeating the words of the last lie spoken Everything will be alright Trust me I will guide you to the right Trust me I am the light, the light Trust me Tonight, tonight Ashes fell from armageddon sky line Dark the eyes see when everyone is blind Twisted bones and bible verses laid On the sewing needle beds we have made. Innocence grazed like sluggish sheep Unprotected in the final cusps of sleep Fighters few and soldiers weary Even the smell of daffodils seemed scary Save of us all... we were screaming There rose a leader made of scars of spirit Preaching loud so that everyone could hear it Everything will be alright Trust me I will guide you to the right Trust me I am the light, the light Trust me Tonight, tonight Pitch black, blood red Rains from the heavens dead Repeating the last lie spoken Faith is broken Right is the wrong direction What was left was protection.

This is fantastic Casarah. Love it. Transported into the story, but not a place I would like to be. This stanza, hooked me in ...." Ashes fell from armageddon sky line Dark the eyes see when everyone is blind Twisted bones and bible verses laid On the sewing needle beds we have made." Leanne
