Santiago Blackout

 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
