Silent like a tomb

the city reaches for the sky

I'm left alone here and I can't remember why

Lying on a rooftop

in a vast garden of concrete

The silence echoes in the streets



See as my eyes stray to pan

across the barren surface

as monolithic structures

tower through the silence

All of man's creations

left abandoned without purpose

I am alone yet feel its malice



And while the clear blue mid-day air

is feeling slightly awkward

as shafts of sunlight

stray across my field of view



I find new perspective

as tomorrow turns today

and in the sky I see

a soaring bird of prey

staring at the trees

I see them all begin to sway

I sense a storm is coming my way



I can barely see as

the sky erupts in light

hell falls all around me,

then suddenly, it's night...



Then without a whisper

the atmosphere is torn

Instinct is screaming

for shelter from the storm

I can barely see as the sky erupts in light

hell falls all around me,

then suddenly, it's night...
