    Echos, Silhouettes & Shadows


    Watching, waiting, laughing, feeding
    The shadows all weeping for the pain and destruction
    This dank, dreary city has fallen into his hands now
    Hell reigns in this land of torment and suffering

    Silhouettes standing in awe watching
    The tears falling with only one purpose
    Hitting the streets with echos of devastation and pain
    When will this end?!

    Fire burning in the night time sky
    On hands and knees scraping to get away
    Flee from this infernal tomb
    Stand up! Stand up! I can't let you die here, keep on moving!

    Won't someone stop this terror and dread?
    Save the innocents, save the future
    Striking the sky like a thousand blasts
    Racing down, down, down

    Impacting the world with an enormous blow
    Silhouettes blown back
    A Beam of light begins to burn bright
    With the power of the sun sweeping through

    Taking the helpless and weak away
    From the putrid sea of filth, greed, lust, disgust and death
    Lighting up the obscured town and bringing order
    Giving light to the silhouettes

    Stand tall and fight! Use this gift I bring you!
    This light is your sword, your everlasting strength
    Shadows tranfering into luminescent waves
    Asending into the atmosphere to shine

    This sullen city has finally awaken and risen from the dust
    The rebirth has begun just like it always has
    Hell won't dare return for if he does he will be the one that burns
    Peace has come and the echos have become the sounds of laughter

    And on this day we have overcome the terror, overcome the dread
    We have rebuilt this world with the light that guided us all to safety
    Look to the light in hopes of an end of your pain and overcome
    So take a moment with yourself to look inside, you never know what you will find.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
