The bastard
\nby cricketjeff on May 7, 2008.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nFrom deep inside the shadows of a half remembered night
\nWhere the spirits that devour a soul make play
\nThere’s a special kind of darkness that resists the brightest light
\nWhere the soul devouring spirits come to stay<\/p>\n
The shadows that live in your mind can hide the darkest fears
\nAnd you never know when you will fall inside
\nThese ghosts that come to haunt you will stay with you all your years
\nYou will find that there’s no place that you can hide<\/p>\n
You can run as fast as lightning, you can scale the highest peak
\nYet the ghosts will be before you every time
\nThere’s no chance for exorcism they don’t hear when people speak
\nThey stole your peace that is their greatest crime<\/p>\n
Every time you see your lover they will tell you of her doom
\nAnd they’ll keep you from the feelings that you need
\nThey can turn the brightest daylight into deep and stygian gloom
\nYour tranquility is all they want for feed<\/p>\n
The warmth of any summers day turns frosty as they wait
\nFor your happiness to drain away to dust
\nThe clockwork motors of your mind, are now in a dreadful state
\nAll the cogs and springs corroded into rust<\/p>\n
And these soul devouring spirits seem to breed in sorrow’s glare
\nThen they spread themselves to others that you meet
\nAnd the darkness and the misery they’ve seeded in the air
\nKeep on growing ’til their conquest is complete<\/p>\n
Now the human race is losing to the demons that it built
\nAnd my mind is slowing grinding to a halt
\nAll the pleasures that I used to know are drowning in the silt
\nAnd I do not know the bastard who’s at fault<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
