A darkness fell upon the earth
A plague of sickness had its birth
It touched the baby's in the womb
It came on mothers all to soon
Fathers cried for there sons
As it came upon there little ones
Widows wept as men fell down
Cancer had the victors crown

Humans fought but in vain
The cure was bad and caused great pain
But the battle still goes on
Great minds have studied all life long
Ever feeding the hungry beast
As human flesh becomes its feast
Some have had a victory but for
others from this decease will not be free

The death tole gets higher every day
When will this evil thing go away
To kill this thing before it kills us to
For a cure we don't know what to do
It eats the money that we give
We feed it and we try to live
Our loved ones faded away as we watched
them yesterday now just memories of the past
Loved ones that did not last
Still no answer yet in site we must keep up the fight
