If We Survive The Night

A lush tropical paradise
And vacation of our dreams
Lifes hard work and sacrifice
But nothing is what it seems

Our accomodating hosts
Gave us a special invite
Remote property night tour
It’s all happening tonight

It started with dinner
Amongst a bunch of elites
Then an announcement was made
A game will be played speech

“A game of death
A game of survival
Survive 12 hours
From our hunters rifles
You have 30 minutes
Enjoy your head start
Beware of the jungle
It’s time to depart

Stunned and shaken
We started to run
Into the rainforest
The death hunt has begun

A symphony of music erupted
From the insects singing
How do we survive
My mind started thinking

We must avoid encounters
And stay well hidden
Away from poisonous frogs
And not be death bitten

And don’t step near
Fer-De-Lance and other vipers
Hide from these creatures
These venemous jungle snipers

Seeing muddy prints
Curious what the tracks are
It’s possibly a puma
Or maybe a jaguar

Running through the dark
Sounds of roaring thunder
Shots of guns fired
We’re feeling outnumbered

Panicked and scared
Our hearts are racing
Into the darkness
While fear’s embracing

Shadowed trails blending
It’s all just an illusion
Lost and disoriented
Echoes our confusion

1 hour now down
11 more to go
Sneaking around the jungle
In the vast unknown

Not sure where to go
Covered in mud and sweat
Adrenalin is fueling
This destinations regret

We’re both scared to death
And paralyzed with fright
Our freedom awaits
If we survive the night
