Roads To Darkness

At night it rains

Time seems to tip toe

Threw the streets like a naked child

Afraid to get wet

But soaked none the less

Laughing weeping

Threw puddles of innocense

Lamps as big as trees

Follow winding roads

And like snakes of light

Cars go by

Guarded by concrete paths

Sculpted by human hands

The great civilization

Of the over grown path

But out there

Beyond the bricks and Kerbs

A mysterious world sings wails

Announces its existence

To the watching moon

Shadows and shapes

Dance and change

Eyes move to the patter of feet

Some things live 

And some things die

Deep in the dark of the Forrest

On the road

All is known

And the night cruelly chases the day

Tick toc tick toc

Checkmate shouts the king

From inside his concrete walls

Apparently safe and sound

But fiends speak in empty rooms

And in echoes

Consciousness drowns

Like a caterpillar

Changed to a butterfly

Prisoner to a crysalis of stone

Force of habit drowns mankind

And nations sink 

Like Titanics

And into the sea

The world will drown

God's will weep from beyond the clouds

Atlantis gave life

And she shall

Take it away

A strange face rules

Man obeys
