they came to **** the silent ones
to carve their ugly piece of history
   to stab the soul of our humanity
    until no glimpse of life remained

who came like thieves in the night
  to pull the covers off worldy beds
   to hurl their misery like atomic fall out
     until we all knew now we were dead

where paper defenses stood not the time
  the innocent lamented with no support
   and blood flowed endless down the streets
     until no life was left to bleed

they came dressed in their business suits
  had technological manners in things they said
    and masses of people fell fast in the line
     for hidden agendas too soon to know

and then before the world took notice
they left behind a world in ruins
  and spots of life were left buried deep
   within the lost ones crying out in pain

they came and cursed all that of divinity
held close to heart the one in Hell,
  and ripped apart the humanity fabric
    till tears of acid fell from darkened faces

but one who stood the test of time
  the one who died for all to live
   rose up and called for a heavenly father
    who split the clouds and rained down hope

the ones dressed smartly in a devils design
screamed out for mercy, but none to find
  and a man and women came forth to witness
    that once again our spirits soared

in this harsh ending there came a light
that shown so bright our eyes could see
   and everyday a new beginning
    from ash into eternal destiny
