We are like silence in the night
Silence when the loud alarm starts ringing
Fire! Humble people in cottages
We refuse to wake up
Better to let the angry flames reach our rooftops
Growing and crackling down the walls
And engulfing the room we rest in
We are people who wont wake up
Fire and blood
And dreams of life
From the time when we watched the sun rise
And when all is smouldering wreckage
I stand alone after as a spirit
Sifting through the ashes
Lamenting what was lost
And asking why
Knowing never
Will I know
I like this one, hope you do too
