Night

Emotional torture, blood curdling screams from inside
Inflicted on the mind and this you can't hide

This heart attack of emotions throbs and shoots through the veins
A living hell that has becomes your night culture

Strange dreams leading through alleyways and highways time after time
Eerie faces and places

A drug, a drink or more to dull the pain and shut off those names
A cry in the metropolitan desert called city life
Bright coloured lights blink and wink
Loud music booms and thuds
All offering escapes to deaden your pain

The scariest and loneliest landscape of all
Truth be told
These are the early morning hours when you sit in the bed and staring to see in the dark like a cat
Wondering about life - is this all?

A question pops in the air -
Are the mental struggles a matter of the blood line
Passed on from one generation to another
Does these depressive streaks repeat time after time
Is this like a transmittable disease of another kind

Is there a life line, another space where you'll be fine
Peace within and peace without
This is man's search, travelling the world to scout
But are we running out of time

There is one who has been there
Taking on all the world's nightmares
Experiencing all that demons and hell unleashes
At the cross of Jesus, no one misses
The strange exchange of the Son of God
Dying for the children of God
Bringing peace to the soul
And life everlasting

Come to Jesus, and let your night turn to light
