RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Santiago Blackout
Where were you when the lights went out?
When the city lost all power
When the purest mind began to doubt
And the spirits ruled the hour
Men and women ran for cover
Children hid and cowered
Sweet Isabella lost her lover
When the spirits claimed the hour
And I was but a passing ship
Tossed out to the seven seas
I felt the earth beneath me slip
And I thought this cannot be
We were cast into the deepest dark
We were captured by a spell
This failing leaves a lasting mark
A moment spent in hell
We will never find our way back home
To the place we left behind
The truth is that we’re all alone
With the ghosts that haunt our minds
