When dust settles
birds land
and ants emerge again
When rain falls
in weak attempts
to wash away their sin
Buildings crumble
children sing
your mother cries for him
But all for naught
theres nothing left
this world you’re living in
We saw them try
to build once more
society begins
From rubble pits
great windows rise
with sunlight trickling in
Fields regrew
we sang once more
we thought that we could win
But hope
was not so long to stand
this world we’re living in
Fields wilt
and great walls lie
they fall apart again
Widows weep
and young men die
the armies marching in
Sing your song,
oh mockingbird
please play it once again
So what,
I shouldn’t have believed
I got to go again
So what,
I should have
known that I
was crumbling outside in
So what,
I should have seen the signs
said end and not begin.
