The Dark Lyrics

Shattered glass on the ground

Deadly morning dew

People crowding all around

Every eye locked on you

All they see is a spectacle

A diversion from the inane horrors of their own lives

They are much too respectable

To grasp the glistening shards like knives

And plunge into the dark

I see a feral smile

Spread like a stain across your face

I choke back blood and bile

Enraptured by your savage grace

Every move cuts like a sickle

As you stride barefoot toward the crowd

Though the exodus starts as a trickle

It's soon a torrent as you bear down

An agent of the dark

Your feet are soon adorned

By the shining detritus of your wrath

Let the world be forewarned

To stay clear of your path

Or be swallowed by the dark
