The Night

A rampant world of rampage
its colors undefined
reveals a cryptic puzzle
of a lost and unknown time.

Of things not understood
of things not ever known
of this strange voracious plunder
we have cast upon our own.

so we come upon the nighttime
to our darkest hour yet,
this time is passing swiftly
this time we will regret.

You'll see the hours numbered
but the darkness makes us blind
the reality of a dream,
a thought to leave behind.

The reverse of reality
its all we seem to see
the color of our lives
the way we want to be

yet if a solitary soul
could one day take a stand
this world would change forever
with faith the night will end.
