heavens burning away

Contributed by sorrowsofabrokenheart on Friday, 18th July 2008 @ 05:16:46 PM in AEST
Topic: war



I watch the stars fade behind a wall of fire

Heavens burning away

Tonight the shadows take hold of earth

And mans reduced to a parasite

Destroying his own creations

Bombs blacking out the hope of sunrise

So sleep tight my children tomorrow never comes

For war between beasts steal our dreams

This is so sickening, we live in fear of ourselves

Sending sons and daughters to die

Just to prove all we have said is a lie

Come now witness truth

Stand in the remains of what we conquer

Build from its chard surface, then watch it fall again
