UNDER THE COVER OF NIGHTFALL






UNDER THE COVER OF NIGHTFALL






As night falls and we curl up in bed
And on our pillows we lay our head,
When day is done and all should rest
We know things go on that we detest.





For all do not sleep when night is here
Things aren`t what they seem to appear,
They think darkness can hide their sin
But in the end they never win.





They`re up to things they shouldn`t be
Darkness of night is not the key,
Underhanded things they practice now
But they`ll not get away with them no-how.





Time will be against them, you`ll see,
Caught red handed is what they`ll be,
They`ll have had their so called fun
But they`ll pay the price for what they`ve done.





Hope it was all worth it in the end
`Cause some hearts will never mend,
Their lies, deceit and cheating ways
Will live with them for the rest of their days.





Now can we rest in bed anymore?
Or are we left feeling insecure?
Will the night still hold that dread?
Will our minds go where angels fear to tread?
