Array ( [sid] => 92361 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Overpowering Black Death [time] => 2005-04-26 20:12:53 [hometext] => black death is everywhere [bodytext] => Walking alone on a concrete street
Empty to everyone, all except me
The skins of reality hang off every tree
Waves in the wind, for all else to see
Brutal and bloody, and dripping with hate
Knives in the ground, a screeching they make
Screams of forgiveness blow on without date
A plague of death enclosing the world
The burning of skin by the fire within
And locks on the doors, guarding our sins
No one is id left, streets gleaming with blood
Flooded by memories, surrounding us all
Remember the pain and the death in this smog
It’s invading my mind in this blankness of black
Scenes swatching at me, there is no turning back
The feeling of pain that these memories bring
I hurt as I watch them, pulled on by a string
Continuous waiting, waiting to end
I had to return, to the road that holds them
To explore back in time, you’d think a wondrous thing
But when you feel the darkness, as death closes in
There is no way but backwards, to travel forward unknown
I can’t forget what’s happened, the knife stabbed in my back
For it happened too much, too soon to bare
I wish never to walk these lonely streets again
And see the bloody signs all over again
Reality has hit us, now when I look back in time
The smog suffocates me slowly, the smog of Black Death
Darkness overpowers us, kills what strength there is left

Walking alone on a concrete street
