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 their children on the pyre

Cafe's bustling, the streets alive

Embracing terror, the spinning fire

The choice of a lifetime

We wait

Our guiding lights are here, vile and miserable

The time to 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?
