Haunting Moon

Try, try, try

That haunting, taunting moon; illuminating the immune

A collection of survivors make up this platoon

Hardy souls that refuse to give up this fight

Traversing the chaos that has been strewn

Searching with the hope of a loon

For a way out of this cursed lagoon

Dying to find an end to this plight

Knowing there is no end in sight

Resisting the urge to succumb to the croon

Of that haunting, taunting moon

Hiding in the shadows to survive this maroon

Waiting for that moment most opportune

To finally escape this horrific night

Try, try, try though you might

You'll never escape the tune

Of that haunting, taunting moon
