Abandoned Souls
 
 

God, the father
Creator of the light
They've taken my soul
On this quiet, lonely night
Children burning
Watching them die
Ashes strewn across the pitch black sky

Darkness dwelling in my soul
Domination, no control
Shattered pieces of my past
All these lives did not last
Voices screaming in my head
Broken dreams among the dead
All at once it's clear to me
Damnation is my destiny

As the dark flames consume my soul
There is nothing left in me to console
Bound and shackled
Faith betrayed
Fallen bloody tears can't wash the pain away

In this hour of darkness
I've come to know
God won't save us
He's abandoned our souls

    This book is titled Night because during the night Elie loses his faith in God and he sees all the children being burned.
