Guiding Lights

Sounds of laughter
Joyous songs
The guests are dancing, but something's off
Distant pounding
Cascades of light
Cheers erupt into the night

Killing, cathartic for the soul
Euphoric are these nights of blood
How can you say that you're appalled?

Final cleansing
Ecstatic purge
Throw the children on the pyre
Cafes bustling
The streets alive
Embracing terror, the spitting fire

Choice of a lifetime, we wait
Our guiding lights are here, vile and miserable
The time you draw the line was long before our time
Our guiding lights are here, vile and miserable
Distant pounding
Cascades of light
Cheers erupt into the night

Killing, cathartic for the soul
Euphoric are these nights of blood
How can you say that you're appalled?
