Nights, days & Us

The nights were worse than days
And days were worse than nights
It all happened as everyone was in fights
Who was right and who was wrong
This was only all seasons song
It was a battle going since ages
And no one ever cared
As our soul was trapped in many cages

We had grown ourselves to suffer
Greed and violence all we could offer
Blood were shed on the road
Few surrendered to their fate
And few upped their rate
Many of us tried and many of us cried
But it was of no use as all were part of same boat

When it started and where we had reached
No one cared when our soul breached
For sure all along we lost our ways
As no one listened what others had to say

Everyone was right but who was to blame
That’s how this game was always played
Pain and sorrow were only winner
Tears and hunger were all we had for dinner

Cost was huge without any use
And we knew what was in our sight
Everyone was tired and broken
All it achieved was none
Everything lost and nothing survived
But it was never meant to arrived

It was not like all dark and doom
There was still a ray of hope
But it was like a distant moon
It was all along there
And nobody ever cared

The nights are worse than days
And days are worse than nights
We don’t know where we have arrived
And how long we will survive.
