Red eyes blinded he lurches in through the door
With the blanket night behind him his shadow engulfs the floor
Ghosts of heavy breathing, lungs left short
With the rope tied thick and taut
And in the corner hiding, the light leaves the room once more
Can you listen? Can you hear them shout?
Distant victims make their last cry out
If you listen, you can hear them now
Stop and listen it's the only sound
Night subsiding and crawling back to the ground
As the light so warm and blinding engulfs and then starts to drown
All the faces blink and look around
At the scene in which they're found
And in the corner crying, the child with her hands unbound
