Theme: Evening

Why?

Oh! Evil one why do you linger on?
Is it not time that you were gone?
Can you not hear the oceans roar in rage?
The winds wailing out in torment none can assuage?

The very stars weep icy tears of grief,
The earth twists in agony seeking relief,
No birds sing, they silently mourn,
The sky is torn asunder as a storm is born.

Innocent lives, destroyed at your hands,
Call out for vengeance and justice demands,
Oh! Evil one why do you linger on?
Is it not time that you were gone?
