Neon lights flicker
As metal is pressed
Opening a door to another life
One never fully led
People are engrossed in ecstacy
Not knowing what is to come
The barrel is lifted
Shortness of breathe fills the air
Loud music appears silent as the dead
A moment is taken in regret
Doors are opened
No attention can be afforded
The first flash goes off
And the second, the third
Panic overcomes bliss
Selfish action stench throughout
Those present dropping like flies
Flickering lights help save some
And doom others to darkness
The spreading feeling of ecstacy
Has now switched places
A life filled with little to live for
Has now a brief moment of enjoyment
A second moment is taken to appreciate
The carnage of thing unpredicted to come
Flashes continue to ring out
Echoing through halls and stairwells
A room once filled
Now lies empty
Occupants either cower in fire exits
Or present as macabre displays
To lives cut short
Enjoyment has been had
Thrills have been felt
The price for it is accepted
A calm decent to the ground
Is met with a single loud flash
And so chaos turns into peace
As a calm emptiness fills the air
