The sky was on fire And I screamed and cried "Mother, get down!" The shock wave hit and it blasted through Everything that I thought I knew Prayed to all the luck that followed me Just see us through, just see us through, see us through But I felt that it was no use So we said our goodbyes And we waited As I held tight I knew right then that I would surely die It was my time to go I never felt more alive Eyes closed I saw the whole thing go Missiles rained down, weaved and chose Plague-filled pits swallowed men whole Don't understand how we were passed over I opened my eyes and we were still alive But my mother had not seen Some stone goddess drifted down From the vibrant architecture in the clouds She said we read the signs right She said the time's ripe O Death, I am through your eyes I behold no end in sight Now I know you as life And ours are the hands that write But it's a scary game Blackened with the thousand fears of child to man And it won't relent No matter how long you keep crying or moaning But it's wonderful Use the hurt to shine All on one, for how could one be THE without the world warning? A voltage not yet understood But it surges through all of you Which is to say it surges all through me It surges through everything
