Ashen Decay
We arose from the bunker
To a scene never seen
What was once green and vibrant
Ashen, no gleam
Below the church we stand
In staring appall
No sense we make of it
This deathly thrall
They did it, they went and did it
The buttons, they pressed
Mindless, crazy idiots
In their war mongering zest
Choking, spluttering we are
In confused look around
Shadows of where they were
Graffiti surround
Black shadows fly
Amidst the ashen decay
Carrion cravers they be
In flesh stripping array
Emaciated to thin
In skeletal walk, we
To where, we're not sure
In this land, we be
Radiated and stressed
As we peer to our sun
Decades in the dark, we'll be
Man's new era has begun
