The Awakening - Act 1
From our seas they came
A sleeping past
Depth sleepers they were
As they leave us aghast
Our waters we thought
All tranquil and blue
Are running red
A quite different hue
The might of man
Was in downfall
Freefall
Hence, from when we began
Sightings from all over
As our blues of depth
In modern theatre strike
Leave us red in reft
This, this
Undescribable being
Honeycombed boned
Just what am i seeing
Buildings are complete
Bodies are drained
Civilisation
In modern day strain
There is a lull in their storm
They, i no longer see
But their aftermath
Is all around me
Mumified bodies
Children with mothers
Concave collapse
In dried out smother
I need to go with others
And gather our thoughts
In their rampage, pillage
We will soon be at nought
How do we react
To a hidden unknown
As our past has risen
Our life as we know it, blown
