• The time has come and gone
    When man kind is true and faithful

    We live our lives without a care in the world
    Looking down on everything beneath our soggy shoes


    The handouts we receive don't last long
    For we take, and take, until everything is gone


    We rot in the shallow graves we made for ourselves
    Where only the worms can befriend us

    We're flawed, but we blame everyone but the ones we see in the mirror
    Because the world created us, made us what we are


    And the cruel god they worship brought them to make us
    The children of the night, of the dark, of the streets


    The city is gloomy like the water in our cups, but we know the way
    We're changed; adapted to our new habitat

    In those alleys, we find peace between the shards of ruined lives
    Like some unfound diamond treasure, we devour the unknown space in the universe


    There is no return from this place where we reside
    The devil has us now, and our only home is in his deadly grasp


    We're safe for now, with the dirt shrouding us entirely
    But not safe from ourselves, or the needs we deeply long for

    The needs that seep their way into our airless veins
    And eat your flesh with a burning passion


    Like tiny maggots emerging from a decollate corpse
    But tonight, in the darkend alley... we find peace


    Even if it's only for one night

    We're safe
