Elegy For A Lost Summer

Sun burst sky
Crash of thunder
Earth split wide
Pulled me under
This is the day we tore asunder
Gone forever
The sense of wonder

Heat beat down
Burned inside me
Room ablaze
Melted round me
Don't you see the same
As you look right through me?

Air in flames
Your words all spoken
Siren screamed

The world tore open
Can you feel this pain
And keep your heart unbroken?

Summer's all on fire
Blood's burning in my veins
Cars collide
'Plane crashes
Life carries on the same

Never thought such things could happen
Never believed in hell
Hell on earth is love breaking
And what remains to tell
