The Closing In

SARAJEVO the closing in They've known their only friends weren't here to stay but only come to spend a night or two in hopes of putting off the judgement day that's closing in no matter what they do; all chances are the story will be sad but who recalls beginnings, when it ends? To lay the blame would only drive one mad and so they lay the blame upon their friends who leave them to the way that's come around in spite of all the tears there are to cry for love of Sarajevo, hallowed ground a fitting place for one to stand and die. And all the world will hear the final plea but pass it off as what was meant to be.
