Children of the Night

Some thoughts after listening to Jeff Buckley:

"Children of the night cry,
'Is there more than this?'
With these stone-faced, dead eyed Judases
Who kill us all with a kiss. (Those kisses burn!)
The blind lead the blind in an
Everlasting near-miss.
We cry in the night shaking
Our fragmented fists.

"I am a flaming coal
On the tip of your tongues.
I burn right through your arteries
Your reigns, your hearts, and your lungs.
No more feeding Moloch our daughters,
Daughters and sons!
Children of the night cry,
'What have we done?'"
