The ravages and ruin unwavering in their slumber The ashes suspended in mid-air frozen in time The greenery has turned black The fog settled in permanence Vines spread like disease Smoke escaped empty houses The last lantern extinguished New darkness covered the old sky If it rained, it rained tears and blood Trees tilted unnaturally like hands hovering over the crumbled street My shadow is all that remained This horrid and forlorn city became my home It walked along the ruins and left no prints in the dust The agony and stench It dragged its feet The sound like nails to a chalk board I can call back my shadow anytime but something stops it A white flower grew out of the dust It was beautiful but before i can love it... snap Shadow returns to the darkness

Exodus
The ravages and ruin unwavering in their slumber The ashes suspended in mid-air frozen in time The greenery has turned black The fog settled in permanence Vines spread like disease Smoke escaped empty houses The last lantern extinguished New darkness covered the old sky If it rained, it rained tears and blood Trees tilted unnaturally like hands hovering over the crumbled street My shadow is all that remained This horrid and forlorn city became my home It walked along the ruins and left no prints in the dust The agony and stench It dragged its feet The sound like nails to a chalk board I can call back my shadow anytime but something stops it A white flower grew out of the dust It was beautiful but before i can love it... snap Shadow returns to the darkness
