Soil abandoned A land forlorn As if time has stood still And the whole world was gone Waves come crashing Lick the shores with chlorine kiss Ever-returning tide of blissful torment Leaves nothing but scars and wounds so deep Unhealed A silence so profound and mighty Rises over bridges once burnt Like towers that pierce the skies and move the stars, It sings a song so loud, yet still unheard A land forlorn Erased from all maps Left to wither and die alone
