Sadness falls upon the world like the darkness of night.
Melancholy blows over the hills like a light breeze.
Hope, joy and freedom elude us like butterflies.
Suffocating in the hopelessness of life.
The people of the world cry.
Tears fill the streams and rivers.
The flowers curl over as if weeping.
Bleakness fuels the world, like electricity.
Sorrow befit for a King.
And every breath filled with misery.
The desolation becomes too much.
The laughter, the fun, the point, evades the planet.
A sombre sun rises
Repeat.
As a child you said you would protect me
You lied
When in the darkness you used me
I cried
When I reached out for your help
There was no reply
Now I look at her and tell her I will never leave
I lie
When I take her innocence
She cries
My heart is like stone
I have no reply
So she grows older and moves away
I sigh
Each time I visit the shelter
We fight
The police come to take me away
I hide
The circle remains unbroken
I comply
Each time I repeat it
I deny
Until at long last
I die
