Silent lightning's silver sliver
Pierces nights dark murky shadow
From endless pain, we are delivered
And what we think, we do not know.

Illuminating filmy skies
A second's wink, a moment's touch
After hour's slender spies
Tell all, now listen, we are in luck.

Thunder tossing, turns in sleep
As restless musing worries awake
My heart it shook, my soul will keep
Though mind alone it shall not take.

Falling, plummeting; shower me,
Wash away eternal sin
That still exists for none to see,
Perpetual; I cannot win.

As storm's dark umbra fades away,
Vice and crime alone remain
For tomorrow, of yesterday
Impervious to the purging rain.
