And yet the fire burns and the air is rife with fear.
Nothing can compare to the fateful night of tears
And yet the shattered lays with loose gears
Nothing can compare to the Darkened night of tears
And yet those memories at the back of your mind grow near
Nothing can compare to the distant night of tears
And yet the wind howls and the face of evil rears
Nothing can compare to the Deathly night of tears
And yet the rifles silence the sound of people’s cheers
Nothing can compare to the shadowy night of tears
And yet the cries of monsters continue their jeers
Nothing can compare to the hallowed night of tears
And yet the Mother’s lost the ones that they held dear
Nothing can compare to the Bloody night of tears
