One Dark September Morning

The Earth screamed

And the angels cried

As plumes of smoke rose to the sky

One dark September morning

The clouds were black

And the world was gray

As the Gods watched with weary eyes

One dark September morning

Death was victorious

Life was powerless

As fire erupted

One dark September morning

Eight years passed

And the dust cleared

As life rose from the ashes

One dark September morning

Someday

Somewhere

They will stand proud again

One bright September morning
