undone

and while they sleep, it slips away
the dreams and prayers of yesterday
not a sigh or whisper comes
at what continues to be undone

children that shall not be born
no baby cries that will be mourned
kids in schools that should be safe
indoctrination takes that space

boys will be girls and girls to boys
listen closely to the white noise
don't listen to parents, listen to me
they think they know what's best for thee

as they scrub the web and scrub your mind
leaving all of our past behind 
a rainbow promise that once God gave
now significant to the depraved

those that think and those that know
can't see a shining afterglow
refusing to break, refusing to bend
to coming destruction at the end

our twilight that no longer gleams
fits nicely in their scheme of things
intruders given more than some
what is their quest; their last end run?

as a free world that will cease to be
beyond the pale of darkest seas
the chain is broken, link by link
by those that push them to the brink

and while they sleep, it slips away
the dreams and prayers of yesterday
not a sigh or whisper comes
at what continues to be undone
