Be wary – they've arrived!
We have strived to stop them,
Yet still, tenaciously,
They have arrived to kill.
No one escapes, they're here –
In fear, we cannot hide,
They reach inside and tear
The flesh off bones – alas! –
Too late – they have arrived!
In nightmares we have seen
Them coming from within,
Our sin – to let them through.
We cannot fend them off,
Nor mend the ills they've caused
We never paused to think
What our own thoughts could bring.
