The Apocalyptic Theater - Sojourner

The curtain falls

Desolation and decay enthralls

Upon this horrendous scene

Somehow, a strange beauty gleams

The forceful descent slowly dawns

No caress to fall upon

This hidden portrait

A ceaseless wonder of time

We reach out and what do we find?

Not a whisper in the wind

A slither in the cracks

Not a soul on this plain

Tears of the Earth begin to rain

The tears of the earth

Desolation enthralls

Upon this horrendous scene

Failure, to fulfill our dreams

Sorrow, our hopes recede

Hatred, seemed our only path

Shadows, will ever last

Newborn rivers begin to flow

An elusive story never to be told

Into oblivion we fade

For the monumental mistakes we made

Now, the curtains, they rise

Forevermore, we watch with lifeless eyes
