Black billowing smoke, the worlds on fire
the blood-soaked soil is encrusted with rage
a new sense of pride, to be a liar
madness has come to reveal its face
yet, life goes on as lovers embrace
while the curtain has parted, everyone's on stage 

actors cry out, no one will listen
ears are impervious to angry sound
the players have weapons, they seek submission
to create their scenes of turmoil and fears
generations will pass and write of these years
graveyards with statues where flowers abound

Fire, blood and bone to the Earth we are bound and shall all return when graveyards and statues are swallowed in Her fury, flowers are her shroud the stories kept in capsules buried deep under charcoal Lovers' eyes, the stage is set for Hades underground, bring me Powder Blue Skies.
