Dark Time

Sun setting in purple,
A river running red,
The screams of the night complete my nightmare,
This corner my annex
My freedom hole,
The dark time is here
We must stand together to make the light appear,
Unite as one we must
To defeat the evil in the shadows
In these dark times
Friends become enemies
Good girls become bad
Hearts get played
Tears make the rivers that flow today
Together we must stick together
Together we will survive
The never ending fight
Together we unite
For the dark times are here
Welcome to the teenage years.
