Darkened

I don’t want to watch the news, alienating
Everybody lost their minds, it’s so frustrating
Autocrats and clowns making a deal
Anguish and despair, become so real

A son has died in his father’s arms
Facing the sea to escape from the dark

Darkened, world is so cold, mind and soul
Going low while the evil flows
Darkened, mankind dies telling lies
Destroying lives while their mothers cry

Families have been destroyed, atrocity
Terror in the name of God, reality
Lack of empathy, there’s no faith
An ocean between lives, their only escape

Hope has drowned in the sea of lies
The day has come, we will count the lives

Religion producing fanatics
Explosions devour the city
No mercy to kill a dream
So people are running to the sea
