Storm Clouds on the Horizon

Nightfall arrives
The sun has set
Peace and prosperity
Fade from sight
Sounds of war
Screams of pain
Surround us
Deafening

Shadows cast down
Chaos is free
Where are you?
Where am I?
I can’t see the light
Warmth and comfort
Are being devoured
Before my eyes

Say goodbye to hope
As we enter the void
Say goodbye to mother
Goodbye to freedom

Fate has oppressed us
Souls forced into hiding
We need rest but life goes on
Storm clouds on the horizon
Winds bombard my face
Restraint has begun
Separation!

All unity is over
Fragmented
Misery’s black hole
Destroys all dreams
Storm clouds on the horizon
Rain mixes with tears
Another soldier falls
Another loved one lost

Endless night
The storm rages on
No time for sleep
No mercy given
You must keep running
The true tragedies
Are not those who die
But those who survive

The cloud’s shadow
Covers us all
We need rest
But the storm rages on
Hopes and dreams
Lost into oblivion
I cry out in pain
As Death marches on
