Slow stifled footsteps stumble through the haze.
Faint shadows, unearthly gray ashen dazed.
Mirrored corpses to heartless terror blazed.
Disbelief thou misty eyes gazed, in chains.

Senses numbed, blunt spirits ceased to be men.
Vivid fate, silent witnesses to hate.
Inhuman burdens… to false pride irate.
Faith rootless, cries of silence Fie! Amen...

Thy neon lights extinguished side spilt dawn.
Doth haunting flares dare leave self-breathe foregone!
Thy fought past death and despair, brawn withdrawn.
Single drops touched land, tucked them under, Gone…
