The Dark Side of Tomorrow
The emptiest place that can be found
is the dark side of tomorrow
...with unknown fears all around.
The dark side of tomorrow is nought but despair
because it’s founded on yesterday
...with no thought and no care.
Moans in the emptiness of what’s always been
resound in the dark side of tomorrow
...with a pained silent sad scream.
Stark realities will always remain yet to be
because the dark side of tomorrow remembers
...you, them, and me.
Voices lifted in hope become mute in the grave
because in the dark side of tomorrow
...there seems nothing to save.
But unwelcome pasts will shine in the day
and the dark side of tomorrow will lighten
...as past demons decay.
