Beneath the Shattered Sky
In a world filled with despair
The smell of fear fills the air
The world we once knew is far gone
Debris from the blast litters every lawn
They forced us all underground
Advising us not to make a sound
We once lived the days through
But they wanted something new
A world with no war
That of which they swore
The world we lived in would soon be great
We thought of this not knowing our fate
We walk along the only street
The others are obsolete
The bunker collapsed in on itself
As if it was a broken shelf
With nothing left to give
We ask ourselves if we should still live
