Little do they know
That with the greed
Comes a painful death.
It’s time for us to awaken
And wallow in defeat.
As we walk
The starts fall down
Around our feet.
Eager minds listen
To a sad, sullen beat.
In the rain
And in the shadows
A shallow beast hides.
Listening with cruel intentions
To harm those who venture too near.
As night falls
The dead come to life
Closing off your shallow mind.
Wakening your darkest fears
As the sound of thunder reappears.
With the storm of shadows
Drawing nigh.
With the hour of life
Coming to a close.
We say a final “Goodbye.”
To those we still hold dear.
And watch the day
Drift away into a memory
Shortly lived in our eyes…
But forever etched
Into our souls.
