Dead



The dark of the night
 Comes alive
 The dead has spoken
 We the people will walk
 The earth
 With no souls or
 The feel for hunger
 Until the break of dawn
The corpse will fill the night
 Of an army of one until
 We the people quietly go back to our
 Black hole of life
 Until we finished what we started
 A so called life in the shadows of the dark
