BURN!

We are protected
By fractured walls
And through them
Seep our flaws
As Day turns to night
And Decay tears at our skin
A ravaged world cries
And a disheartened universe dies
A lifetimes work
Is scorched to ashes
All in the lost cause of life
Laughter rattles
from demented lungs
As below our feet our planet burns
And the blood of millions boils
A dust ravaged shell is all that's left
A barren waste, lifeless and deserted
scarred only by bones of billions
And the monuments of memorys
Left behind
