Come What May, What May Come

Black sky over the barren land
Full moon shining as the cold winds howl
Crumbled, lost, torn apart the dead city
Rains pour, damp, plague-stricken place
Destruction left behind, desolation came
Burning buildings, structures turned to ashes
Worlds fall apart, dreams collide, illusion stays
Facing extinction, fighting for survival
Steal breath swiftly, life taken quickly
Shattered bones, screaming souls, your time has come
Time heals wounds but will wounds heal time?
Gates are open but the stairways are broken
Coming of the new dawn, entering oblivion
Darkness conquers, dreadful, horrible
The silence answers so loud, so deafening
A cry amidst the stillness of the night
The city where light never shone
Humanity in the brink of annihilation
