Through an open window there lies a land
Filled by deathly silence, it comes alive
Feeding frenzy for those who are kings
Savagely gobbling up those who are not
Pure theatre, never to be seen by a naked eye

By fear alone this land is ruled
Fittest of the fittest roaming freely and with hunger
Darkness consuming even the brightest light
Hiding this relentless pursuit of desire
Forming a barrier between us and them

Then suddenly and predictably, life changes
Illuminated by a daily dose of color
Seeing the end of the ruthless and the beginning of the brave
Changing everything in a flash
Making peace between heaven and earth

Sweet sounds offered from far and wide
Songs of happiness in the knowledge of safety
Sung from the rafters by smiling acceptance
Ten hours or less to make life wondrous
Ready and waiting for another bout of pitch-black fear
