No slumber in the violent city

Blue flashes light the sky,
Blue flashes light the sky,
Illuminating blue in the night,
Illuminating blue in the night,
The sky flashes in the night,
Illuminating bright blue light,

The quiet of the train
The quiet of the train
A midnight stillness violently disturbed
A midnight stillness violently disturbed
The stillness of a midnight train
Violently the quiet disturbed

Electric buzz in the empty night air
Electric buzz in the empty night air
Artificial light and the sense of despair
Artificial light and the sense of despair
The artificial air and electric light
The buzz of despair in the empty night

The artificial stillness disturbed,
Violently in the quiet midnight air
Bright electric flashes in the night,
Light illuminating the sky.
The empty despair of the night
And the buzz of a light blue train.

You are really too kind, they are not really that hard to write, though I admit that I am not really happy with the way this one turned out.
