Piercing sounds like the night howls of red foxes where do the screams come from echoing on the rooftops of the ghetto how do we make them stop. Where do the screams come from more stunning than suicidal bombing blasts how do we make them stop. Turn tears into children's laughter. More stunning than suicidal bombing blasts eyes fixed - stand still. Until realisation hits Turn tears into children's laughter it makes more sense. Eyes fixed - stand still. Until realisation hits blocks crumbling, bare foot on concrete rubble it makes no sense. Fear clings to the air, casts shadows like rain clouds blocks crumbling - bare foot on concrete rubble splitting skin on rock, struggling to free them. Fear clings to the air, casts shadows like rain clouds Waiting for the raindrops. The aftershocks.

Pantoum - Doom
Piercing sounds like the night howls of red foxes where do the screams come from echoing on the rooftops of the ghetto how do we make them stop. Where do the screams come from more stunning than suicidal bombing blasts how do we make them stop. Turn tears into children's laughter. More stunning than suicidal bombing blasts eyes fixed - stand still. Until realisation hits Turn tears into children's laughter it makes more sense. Eyes fixed - stand still. Until realisation hits blocks crumbling, bare foot on concrete rubble it makes no sense. Fear clings to the air, casts shadows like rain clouds blocks crumbling - bare foot on concrete rubble splitting skin on rock, struggling to free them. Fear clings to the air, casts shadows like rain clouds Waiting for the raindrops. The aftershocks.
