    Our Playground of Nightmares

    A child’s swing is never safe
    A child’s laughter is muted and hushed
    A parent’s worse fear is realized on the nightly news
    The swing led to the man
    The child is now gone

    Our Playground of Nightmares

    Who said that children are innocent?
    Born in blood, born from pain
    Ripped from the womb
    Always seeking to get back in

    So starts our Playground of Nightmares

    Monsters no longer lurk in the closet
    No longer lurk in the mind
    Ever lasting on the current
    The changing winds of time

    The monsters play on the news
    Sway on the swings of death
    Slowly they move and slowly they grow
    Yet no one sees it all

    Children grow into monsters
    Monsters flock to children
    Seeking to reclaim the innocence
    That they never had

    They laugh on the Playground of nightmares.

    Relish on war and on those that wage it
    Gun blasts add to strength
    Parents seek to shield their children
    Then the was comes home

    No one is safe on our Playground of Nightmares.

    Try and hide
    Hide and seek
    They see you there
    They are coming for you
    Scream
    They feed on the sound
    Beg
    It is music to their ears

    Who are they?

    The children that were ripped from the womb

    They made our Playground of Nightmares.

    And you can’t escape.
