Dark and Despair in the Air

Location

Dark and despair in the air

Tame those people who want to swear

Make them believe in something else

But keep it close to them like belts

Help them decide to take a better path

Before they want to expel their wrath

Dark and despair in the air

 

Those who like to spit and snare

To widdle away their lives and souls

By drinking and smoking from a bowl

That takes away any chance of hope

From their downward life of a slope

Dark and despair in the air

 

Those who feel that stealing is right

When living creatures are at plight

And when they go about and do their evil acts

Does nothing to those who stand back and attract

The attention of those who cower in fear

At those who sing their evil cheer

Dark and despair in the air

 

A shining sun breaks through the clouds

Those who make themselves known in the group

Who changed for the better and for the troop

To show the enlightened mentality which inspired them

And how they decided to branch off from the stem

To become better than they truly are

And to fulfill the dreams of those who lived under par

A shining sun breaks through the clouds
