Thunderclouds booming like a military drum
Rain is pelting with a solitary hum

Lightning is crackling like the breaking of bones
The sky is attacking rough enough to break stones

The sun was a blood clot, before in the sky
a burning ball of fire that could gouge out your eyes

The grass was scorching, like needles beneath feet
Until the sun set, admitting untimely defeat

And the sky rolled yonder, like an enemy crouched
An ominous shadow till the war cry was announced:

Ear-splitting boom, that rattles in your gut
Louder than a gun, and it stuns, now you run -

But there's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to hide
From the galloping dread, like a torrential tide

Its coming for you, twisted hand of fate
shaped like a lightning bolt, straight out of the gate

The faces that peer, innocently knowing
That the sky-god's wrath was menacingly growing

They're scattered across planes, barren as ice
As the enemy cuts across them, with a single clean slice

Unwavering is fate, that tossed out their doom
And such is life and death,
As sudden
As unpredictable as a thunder's boom.
