Future Be Damned

The sky at night is a deepening red
Someone stabbed the sun, and out she bled
Sinking into the sea at night
Robbing the world of all it's light

Then the darkness comes so quick to steal
The hope of dawn, the wold to heal
Wind rapes my ears and chills my bones
Nothing left in the night but shrieking moans

Of a soul, lost, alone and afraid
How many more times must my conscience be stayed
The stars at night keep a watchful eye
Feigning indifference to my heartfelt cry

That my heart should know the reasons be
For all I've suffered, I deserve to see
When I scream to the heaven's "I don't understand"
The answer is silence, the future be dammed
