Demolition

Tall stone towers and the fortress walls
Crumbling to pieces, shattering like glass.
Destruction reigns over what was built--
Over what was built to be broken.
My shield has fallen,
The rubble raining down upon my head.
Smoke and debris clouding out my vision.
Save me from this living nightmare!
Only your touch can change this brokenness
And turn the dreadful to a dream.
