Digging holes with metal poles
Earth hanging by a string
ember coals and smokey souls
our hearts refuse to sing
Nostril flares and double dares
blood coursing through our veins
no one cares or fires flares
to save us from the flames
Rubber necks on splintered decks
missiles pierce the sky
the crackling fires from funeral pyres
sparkle in our eyes
Mascara streaks on dampened cheeks
as quiet fills the air
we crawl across a floor that creaks
to waken our despair
Stars explode and fade to black
the darkened sky above
stretches far from east to west
obscuring peace and love
