Do Not Delay
Remember that day
Your memory set to replay
Remember that day
When your life was astray
Tattered curtains in the wind
A path you soon rescind
Echoes of silence in the halls
Shadows dance upon the walls
Her door off its frame
Search, call her name
Terror brings you to your knees
Your gut twisting with unease
Remember that day
Your memory set to replay
Remember that day
When your life was astray
Screams burn outside
The attack worldwide
Determined to find her
Afraid of what may occur
Heart breaks at the thought
When nearby a gun is shot
Running wild in the night
Praying it’ll be alright
Remember that day
Your memory set to replay
Remember that day
When your life was astray
Words still engraved
Your soul enslaved
Memories on your mind
Apocalypse of mankind
Her love you dearly miss
The unforgettable last kiss
Feeling her last breath
As she welcomed death
Remember that day
Your memory set to replay
Remember that day
When your life was astray
Remember that day
When she faded away
When you were unable to say
What your heart wish to convey
