Smokestack Ammunition
In the distance
At that border
Where tomorrow
Meets yesterday
Inclement weather
Rolling thunder
Devastating
The hard won way
Tears fall like rain
In the dampness
Of life's passion
All the drowning
Cannot be saved
Slowly sliding
Into greyness
Helter skelter
Towards the grave
Tears fall like rain
Then they fall again
Hangman by the gallows
Spectres in the shadows
Carbon footprints running
Boneyard bodies humming
Deathbed guilt contrition
Smokestack ammunition
Doors close
Time ends
Blackness
Descends
In the garden
Eating apples
Creeping viper
Wasn't so green
Becoming fossils
In rock faces
Encapsulating
Exquisite screams
Tears fall like rain
In the darkness
Of this prison
Inane questions
Sweep all away
Undercurrents
Crushing pressure
Decimating
Such harmless prey
Tears fall like rain
Then they fall again
Hangman by the gallows
Spectres in the shadows
Carbon footprints running
Boneyard bodies humming
Deathbed guilt contrition
Smokestack ammunition
Doors close
Time ends
Blackness
Descends
At that border
Where tomorrow
Meets yesterday
Inclement weather
Rolling thunder
Devastating
The hard won way
Tears fall like rain
In the dampness
Of life's passion
All the drowning
Cannot be saved
Slowly sliding
Into greyness
Helter skelter
Towards the grave
Tears fall like rain
Then they fall again
Hangman by the gallows
Spectres in the shadows
Carbon footprints running
Boneyard bodies humming
Deathbed guilt contrition
Smokestack ammunition
Doors close
Time ends
Blackness
Descends
In the garden
Eating apples
Creeping viper
Wasn't so green
Becoming fossils
In rock faces
Encapsulating
Exquisite screams
Tears fall like rain
In the darkness
Of this prison
Inane questions
Sweep all away
Undercurrents
Crushing pressure
Decimating
Such harmless prey
Tears fall like rain
Then they fall again
Hangman by the gallows
Spectres in the shadows
Carbon footprints running
Boneyard bodies humming
Deathbed guilt contrition
Smokestack ammunition
Doors close
Time ends
Blackness
Descends
