Wondering in the dark
Downed poles begin to spark
Smoke blankets the sky
Lights begin to die
Burning trees glow around me
Waves dance in the sea
Sirens echo for miles
Bodies wash up in piles
Blood and sand mix under my feet
Our flag smoldering in defeat
The smell is nauseating
Heavy radiation is suffocating
Planes circle above in the dark clouds
Second sun fades as darkness enshrouds
On the side of the planes red, white and blue
America, what did you do?
My world costumed in flames
But who is to blame?
The silence is so loud
Once my home, now a mushroom cloud.

Wondering in the dark
Downed poles begin to spark
Smoke blankets the sky
Lights begin to die
Burning trees glow around me
Waves dance in the sea
Sirens echo for miles
Bodies wash up in piles
Blood and sand mix under my feet
Our flag smoldering in defeat
The smell is nauseating
Heavy radiation is suffocating
Planes circle above in the dark clouds
Second sun fades as darkness enshrouds
On the side of the planes red, white and blue
America, what did you do?
My world costumed in flames
But who is to blame?
The silence is so loud
Once my home, now a mushroom cloud.
