Dark White Firefly

The mist sat silent to watch unfold
The fragments life, a tale untold
By liars and cowards who lay to waste
Timed are our lives we must make haste

Air so thick and white in shade
The deal of corruption has thus been made
When the clocks of life tick ever on
Thus the dark white light has gone

The lies to children that do no harm
Retold by liars who remain so calm
The children cry when they find out
Thus harm is done and now they doubt

The children weep in the dead of night
When they grow to see there is no light
And you the liars shall we all die
We share our Dark White Firefly
