6. The world of darkness
The strength and love, my inner foes
Went quiet before the storm
As the reality destroys
The image I'm to form,
The rocket launchers stand beside
The gate through which I ran,
Locators wait for command quiet
In readiness to scan,
The beat-up road is gleaming pink
In rays of the immense rim
That tears through clouds as they blink
To make a seer scream,
At growing dark it fades to black,
Horizon orange hue,
And shadow falls, the veil of slack
That dries the night-time dew.
From burning pools the orange lights
Jump on the metal grilles
That cover windows as the nights
Get on with shady deals.
The last ray burn's surrounded by
The scream of a guitar
Which tears the night by desperate cry
That's never heard so far,
If I were there my ear could catch
The bars of metal crash
From the chromatic scale to snatch
To spit them out in thrash.
The sun, it dips into nowhere;
The sound river fades
And silence comes, and no-one there
Will pass the backward gates.
The metal gossamer shut down,
And covered all the ground;
The wind starts blowing from the town
And littering around,
And as the rats of white and gray
Run out for the night
They start their hunt and swear to stay
The kings of bloody fight.
The huge computer boards aside
Forgot that marvelous state
When they were able to ignite
The spark of love or hate,
There is no power for a flash
Enlivening the space,
The voltage's low, it can't refresh
The long-forgotten place
And the remains of current give
The light to neon lamps
Which splinters that still seem to live
Remember power-amps,
They crackle slightly in the night
And close an empty store,
It is my loneliness tonight
What was their joy before.
At constant sight of a blackened zone
The kef of others’s turned
Into my standing here alone,
The night is cool but burnt.
7. The Nightfall
I bringing forward through the rain
The state of nevermore,
We could unite and live again
As it's been waited for,
And since I've seen the light that's gone
The shining sun I miss
As I still know there is The One
We could be happy with,
For all the life and once a life
It ever might appear,
Although the city's still alive
And there are ones to hear,
But no-one sees the sense in cries
That fill the nightmare town
While stars repaint the crumbling skies,
Delirium of down,
There's neither joylessness, nor fear
No star to give the light,
The only obvious thing of here
Is falling of the night.
