Light Words, Dark Graves

Midnight and the stars pulsate
They radiate my contempt for the land
I discharge a breath and clench my fists
Then walk towards where no stars can be seen
There, here is no light
And still there will be no love
They told me I could escape
Their light words-dark graves

Midnight and my back won't turn
I'll move forward if it means death
I ran from my contempt, I ran from my disdain
To turn back now would be self-shame
Follow the road of light
Their words burning in my ears

They told me I could escape
Their light words-dark graves
Midnight, lead me to death
To life
Starlight, fade out and die
As love like life
