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 sheens
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
