the distant cries of little children
carried among the howling wind
as midnight stars kiss the sky goodnight
and the fireflies eavesdrop in
from a whisper to a scream
on the drops from crimson rain
and all these moments cannot be missed
at the thought that you're insane
and as haunting spirits rise
from the depths of a watery grave
an eerie fog rolls in across
an abandoned ocean's waves
pale moonlight slithers through
the reflection of myself
leaving morbid shadows to haunt
me but no one else
they play and dance across my mind
leaving me scared and alone
i just pretend they aren't there
making them unknown
swallowed alive into the pit
of fire and isolation
no comfort for my torment
my soul in annihilation
and pulled from within
a collection of my deepest fears
released and let go; now free
to shed my blood-stained tears
and i can hear the faint melody
of little children's cries
and i use them as the lyrics
to my twisted lullaby
