The Final Disposition
I see the fields of ash
browned by the sun
the bodies laying in the field
but the war has not been won
my last gasp of air
I have clung to you
my salvation
for years and years
the darkness cannot spread I reason
it is almost here
I hear them calling now
“the war has just been won!” they say
a raw victory for my heart
the battle has just begun
on the horizon
The drumming of my heart
I call out in the rain
only one can hear
amidst the sounds of marching
the gates have opened…
