The Waking Hour (Version 3 - Revision)

The Waking Hour

Is an alibi

To cope with lost regrets

That pierce the soul

With each and every step taken

A last breath

Could relinquish a proposed safe haven

If The Waking Hour

Came like a thief in the night

Disguised as Satan

Who's deemed be a soul taker

A well endowed saint

Could now be seen as patron

In the eyes of a world filled with bigamy and hatred

Willfully created

Deceptiveness

Would be the only

Weapon needed  

For The Waking Hour 

Red flags within the minds 

Of every Waking follower

Would remain the only

Alarm clocks left for saving 

One another from an untimely

Dormant spiritual slaughter

That's yet to become 

Visually evident & yet undone

Author's Note
