As The Night Carries On

As The Night Carries On.

I stand in the black
My head filled with a warning
Awaiting the inevitable.
Foreboding: the danger will come
As the night carries on.

I hear the all familiar screams
New to me; distant
I question reality
I hear the drums of the dissident
As the night carries on.

People, scattering
Clash with one another
I scurry to my hide-away
To remain unseen
As the night carries on.

Voices; panic around me
It trembles in its own wake
Like a fired cannon
Surrealism has take control
As the night carries on.

Quickly; like a violent storm
As masterfully as it jolted me
It leaves with equal warning
The evil has passed
But the night carries on.
