Darkness



Darkness
 
Children of the Darkness
Who lay in shatter blankets
Laced with white powder
To keep us dopey
Children of the Darkness
WHo is put into the pits
The ones laced with snakes
And spiders that bite
Children of the darkness
Who lay in desperation
Wishing to be seperated
From the hell that they lay in
Children of the Darkness
Who lay in desperation
Wishing to be seperated
From the hell they may lie inr
Children of the darkness
Are laced with no clothes on
We lay in caskets that
Wooden and splintered with the pine
Children of the Darkenss
The pain that they only we feel
No one knows we're even here
They don't hear the cries
Children of the Darkness
Who sheds these dirty tears
They only slide down cheeks
Thar are stretched on both sides
Children of the Darkness
Not only one or two
There are more than you want to know
But do you even care !
