It's coming to a halt,

This dying world before my eyes

The disgraced remains of prideful lives,

Lay in pieces on the ground

No warning does it give,

The soundless breaking of our lives

While buildings crash, they crumble down,

The wails they fill my ears

Huge cities now in shreds

Without an alibi to reconfirm

The oceans thrash, they moan about,

The wind it picks up speed

A single spark thrown to the ground,

The world is soon to see

For every deed of envy, every act of selfish lust,

Every warped and wicked motive that every twisted human sought

Each one adding a spark (an ember) to the ever growing flame

It’s arms wrap tightly wound,

Alas, it has engulfed

Warily the fire burns,

A dead man’s lullaby

The desolate remains of the ones’ who dared to dream,

Carried by the hazy breeze across the graying land

My lungs now made of ashes,

Buried in the deep, will be a part of all I was and all that is to be
