moonlight sky



When pessimism holds the sway,
Everything looks different with a blurry sight.
When nothing goes your way.

Hunted by the rules like a prey,
amidst the darkness of night.
The price you must repay.

Locked under the feelings of stress and dismay,
Comes a new sun that shines so bright.
When nothing goes your way.

All that the moonlight portrays,
Embracing you with its blessing light.
The price you must repay.

Why must I obey?
To the rules that don’t sound so right.
When nothing goes your way.

Corrupt and decay,
It’s time to rise and fight.
When pessimism holds the sway,
When nothing goes your way.
