Wrack and Ruin
disintergrating with time
a downfall i have tasted
our lives have been overturned
and too much time is wasted
a family brought to extinction
disrupted house of gloom
so shattered and washed out
a feeling that we're doomed
dismantled in a moment
i'm suddenly caving in
collapsing into an empty crevice
a darkness to begin
we've been torn up by the roots
devastated us with grief
shadowed by a whole eclipse
something beyond belief
causing so much unhappiness
afflicting us with pain
destroying every trace of
a beautiful burning flame
