Over the horizon rests the deceased and the black skies Smokey clouds lift the useless souls above ground Monstrous figures dance around a fire Chanting to their higher power And there, in the still of night, she lurks in the alley Young Madeline watches Her family becoming particles of the black dust Her bare feet swiftly crossing the darkness without a sound Leaving behind the shadows The reapers that have ***** her village dry But her tears weren’t enough to silence the cries That are hollow to the mind Of the people that face demise Oh sweet Madeline You must see the lines that tore your innocence While he was stuck between your thighs The sweet, blissful torture kept you safe When the all-knowing began to transpire You were the survivor of his keeping Oh Madeline The horizon is not shiny, there is no silver lining The air you breathe will forever taste bitter And empty

On the Other Side
Over the horizon rests the deceased and the black skies Smokey clouds lift the useless souls above ground Monstrous figures dance around a fire Chanting to their higher power And there, in the still of night, she lurks in the alley Young Madeline watches Her family becoming particles of the black dust Her bare feet swiftly crossing the darkness without a sound Leaving behind the shadows The reapers that have ***** her village dry But her tears weren’t enough to silence the cries That are hollow to the mind Of the people that face demise Oh sweet Madeline You must see the lines that tore your innocence While he was stuck between your thighs The sweet, blissful torture kept you safe When the all-knowing began to transpire You were the survivor of his keeping Oh Madeline The horizon is not shiny, there is no silver lining The air you breathe will forever taste bitter And empty
