In a World where Shadows chase the Light

The world had turned upside down,
The once chipper begin to frown,
All that once made sense has taken flight
In a world where shadows chase the light.

The sky consumes the ground,
Light breaks to the shrieking sound;
Day raises hand and murders night,
In a world where shadows chase the light.

The sea begins to heavily bleed,
As the clouds come down and use it to feed;
Stars laugh from their safe height,
In a world where shadows chase the light.

Mothers turn, kill their young,
Not one eye can hold it's tongue;
The moon drops daggers just to spite,
In a world where shadows chase the light.

Mountains bow to the rain,
The wind drops tears full of pain;
The planets gather, as if contrite,
In a world where shadows chase the light.

Fire quivers from icy mutilation,
Hope hides in silent hesitation;
Worry laughs, eyes closed tight,
In a world where shadows chase the light.

Colors harmonize insanity,
Joy disregards humanity;
Grace bows to a demon's fight,
In a world where shadows chase the light.

No peace found, no peace in sight,
In a world where shadows chase the light.
Love humanized inhuman ends with giddy might,
For this is a world where shadows chase the light.
