The evening sun colours the sky
Bleeding red as the daylight fades
Red eyes opening somewhere close by
The rasp of a stone sharpening a blade
Muttering of a preacher for his Gods sake
As the denizens of darkness awake
Evening laughter from street side bars
Hiding the fear and the grief
Below the surface of mental scars
The raw reality buried beneath
By the moment, by the drink, by the night
Despair hidden yet still in plain sight
The red dusk fades to starlight
The light of lovers and lust
There will be no regrets tonight
Tomorrow if you must
There’s no thereafter, tonight is all
With the death of the sun, we fall, we fall
