The Song

Tragedy finally struck the proper chords

To create a melody of sweet-sounding harshness

That cracked the strongest bones and

Crushed the sweetest of spoken words.

The first verse described a tale of sorrow,

Powerful enough to destroy any guarantees

In life or any chance of a better tomorrow,

Which the mistaken chose to embrace in death.

Yet the chorus transpired into a cadence of beauty,

Of which none had heard for many, many years

Because they lived such a falsified idea of life,

An idea that destroyed any sense of possible joy.

Sadly, the second verse returned to the darkness

And the darkness brought more sorrow with itself,

As a companion and a friend in a dark world

Because not even darkness could survive here alone.

And the outro spoke of a broken, dead soul,

Finished off by the ugly cadences of the world,

Sickened by its own faults and evil thoughts

That could have ended the world in a swift moment.
