Lightning in the Dark
Lightning illuminates the darkness
Lightens everything dim.
Makes everything a white starkness.
The tree doesn't look harmless,
Making a scary face with a limb.
Lightning illuminates the darkness.
So frightened, off the horse falls the marquess.
The thunder booms, the lightning cracks on a whim,
Makes everything a white starkness.
The little boy is not fearless,
His mom calming him as it flashes next to them,
Lightning illuminates the darkness.
The storm rages on regardless,
Flashing its lethal blasts near a gym,
Makes everything a white starkness.
The storm leaves as a gift from the goddess,
But showing its power still, so grim..
Lightning illuminates the darkness,
Makes everything a white starkness.
Lightens everything dim.
Makes everything a white starkness.
The tree doesn't look harmless,
Making a scary face with a limb.
Lightning illuminates the darkness.
So frightened, off the horse falls the marquess.
The thunder booms, the lightning cracks on a whim,
Makes everything a white starkness.
The little boy is not fearless,
His mom calming him as it flashes next to them,
Lightning illuminates the darkness.
The storm rages on regardless,
Flashing its lethal blasts near a gym,
Makes everything a white starkness.
The storm leaves as a gift from the goddess,
But showing its power still, so grim..
Lightning illuminates the darkness,
Makes everything a white starkness.
