Beneath the Shattered Sky

In a world filled with despair The smell of fear fills the air The world we once knew is far gone Debris from the blast litters every lawn They forced us all underground Advising us not to make a sound We once lived the days through But they wanted something new A world with no war That of which they swore The world we lived in would soon be great We thought of this not knowing our fate We walk along the only street The others are obsolete The bunker collapsed in on itself As if it was a broken shelf With nothing left to give We ask ourselves if we should still live
