DEADLIGHTS  (Rev. 1.0  10/10)

 
Into the deadlights our crowd gathered
In a realm beyond what was physical
Burst of fire got minds bewildered
Fear numbing the body becoming cynical
Upon seeing writhing, destructive orange lights
Deafening silence, could hardly utter a prayer
Deadlights drove everyone insane into a fistfight
Coming face to face but with a blank stare
Trying to fight back the hypnotizing spell  
Leaving everyone helpless and out of sight
Restless minds in which nightmares dwell
Haunt the weary souls deprived of light
 
In the heat of the night lost souls wander
Trying to find justice, trying to find peace
As we go on living we often wonder
What lies within the mystical space
While some greedy bastards openly plunder
Bringing chaos and death to once great nation
Turning a deaf ear as if swallowed with thunder
Cruelty and lust beyond the devil’s dominion
Blindfolded and tipped-off the scale of justice
Blaming the deadlights for everyone’s misery
Trying to conceal them but with a lattice
For they also hide behind the mystery
