Reign of Fear

Fierce bombs are blazing in the air 
Fatal fragments are everywhere 
Dead bodies drown in pools of blood 
Fresh blood is oozing like a flood 

The air is filled with noxious mists
Come raging like some deadly fists 
All those who make it and survive 
Are buried deep while still alive 

Hands of salvation only lie 
In the eyes of children that cry 
May tears that fall end the slaughter
Change the reign of fear to laughter 

May peace reign now while there's still hope 
For, plagues of death can't just elope 
May the bleak world in mists of gray 
Find a warm home in hearts to stay
