Footsteps and voices
across an empty yard
Pain into purpose
as the good life adjourns
The lack of choices
Life become too hard
The sudden circus
of survival returns
What do you do
as the world burns
It’s up to you
Rely on yourself
All the light we cannot see
is kept on your shelf
You turn the light on and
the darkness can’t last
Push the problem back into its dark past
Sounds of soaring overhead
Dying cries and wireless chatter
Each climbing cloud
a marker of destruction
The living carry on to carry the dead
It’s a matter of grey matter
Each survivor does the casualty proud
then begins the reconstruction
It’s up to you
Rely on yourself
All the light we cannot see
is kept on your shelf
You turn the light on and
the darkness can’t last
Drive the devils back into their dark past
When darkness seems complete
make the light inside your mind last.
