The Night is Nigh

The venom takes not long to spread

A single touch and then you’re dead

Exposed you were to the world

And in return the pictures swirled

The black and blue that crossed your eyes

As your life then flew by

But the venom’s not for protections sake

It’s the world’s most worthless mistake

For it is not the poison of Medusa’s snakes

But the ways of the Human Race

The good guys and the bad guys are no longer different

The war has changed us, left us imprisoned

We stay silent as the tide starts to turn

And we’re soon submerged, a point of no return

The looped lapse of time

Continues running by

And we make the same mistake

The last shreds of night lay nigh

The last shreds of night lay nigh
