The Righteous Waves

As the walls came down
He looked around for anyone or anything
A life rope to save from the hell that was rising from the water

No one here is safe
From this clarity
Not a soul was safe from the hell that was rising from the water

For it was too late
For it was too late
He had burned too many bridges, and the ones still standing were left to rot in the sea
They were just a drop in the sea

As the screams broke out I realized we were all in similar situations
Sinking just as the walls were, Just as our hopes had been

We're sinking, just how our hopes had been
As it rose above the water, I knew it was inevitable
We had been sinking long before this moment

A calamity no one believed would come was suddenly at our feet
It was far too late to retreat, our disbelief manifesting our defeat

There are no honorable men to be found at the end of days
When humans are the judges everyone will be found lacking

Collapsing structures fall on the crowds that gather to witness the end of the world
We will answerto so much more than ourselves

As it rose above the water, I knew it was inevitable
As it rose above the water
A righteous wave came crashing down
And manifested our defeat

As we embraced our end
Rock and steel slowly fall to the waters
Rising beyond our safety
How long was this destined to be?
As it rose above the water
