Grey-blue eyes glitter in descending twilight

Red-gold hair shines surreptiously.

Thin lips set in a determined frown

She is waiting for the dawn.

Family’s gone, only forest left

The sky is foreboding

So she hides beneath the trees

She is waiting for the dawn.

He comes through the woods

He finds her lying there

Stalking her prey

She is waiting for the dawn.

She is just an animal

Her face means nothing to him

She is just an animal

And she’s waiting for the dawn

Hunter turns to hunted

And the trees cannot stop it

She can only run

And keep praying for the dawn

And as the bullet passes through her

And her eyes begin to fade

She wonders with a sob

Why the dawn never came
