Heaven's Lament

Why

Thunder from thy brother
A messenger, a victim
A belligerent deed

Dawn to dust
Twisted metal
Twisted human beings

A voice, a cry
Darkness
Save who, save fate

Confusion, hysteria
Silence
Humanity too late

Blood stained dry
Names forgotten
History serves to dare

Eyes wide shut
Paradise lost
Do we really care

The world turns
Legacy does not

Why
