A day of shadows reign in all our hearts,
A night of sleepless gloom,
The morning after, silent disaster,
Ice speeding through our veins, with a sonic boom!
When did we give up on each other?
Why do we lie to ourselves?
Why do we stand idly by, while drunken fathers kill our mothers?
When were we condemned to their hell?
The darkest day is the day I was born,
No expression on my face,
Like a child of the corn,
Acting took emotions place,
Only to avoid the scorn.
The darkest day,
Was colder than any past,
When we let the devil guide us from our kin,
And bleed us to the last.
The darkest of days,
Was when the world began to end,
With wills, and morals, steadily on the bend.
A wicked u-turn we did take,
The choice was ours to make,
And now the world is going ..to hell.....
