In the dark of night

In the dark of night and day, Forgotten, ghosts cry their mournful song, The ashes in their billowing plumes sway In the dark of night and day. The road continuing on for miles; Countries, cities, and homes forgotten, Wandering souls bear their wretched guiles on The road continuing on for miles. The pain and anguish people bear Crushes them on their weary journey. Man, woman, and hopeful child share The pain and anguish people bear. A flickering flame struggles to live on In the tainted hearts of soiled man. The true ones protect the pure thought of hope As the flickering flame survives.
