I walk through suffocating darkness,
along paths lined by scorched boughs,
and reminisce about past times.
On the search for higher meaning,
in this indifferent world,
I try to escape this blackened place,
and muster dwindling faith.
Walking through a burning city,
under cinder colored clouds.
I wonder if true love exists,
in a city woven from hate.
Tears of rain fall around me,
as I vainly scream into the night.
My voice drowned by torrents,
every drop some person's sorrow.
Millions of voices deaden my one.
Forests of twisted memories,
hold the wanderers of night.
Until we find our way out,
lest roam until eternity ends.
Find where the sun still glows,
and rain never falls,
where night can't last forever.
