Midnight - The Machine in the Garden

Glistening in the snow

The world carries on

Now I find the time has come

The truth I face alone

Tell them they don’t love you

Ask them if they care

The coldness of their faces

The burden they all bear

It finds me

Clouds parting

Invades me

Midnight standing there

The winters they have come

To cast on brighter days

Silver stars in blackness

Slowly find their way

As the nighttime falls

The children they all gasp

Closed up tight for dreaming

You know they are the last

Tonight the silent stillness

Now has come

To put the world in motion

Tonight it must be done
