Silhouettes

The vault closes Last rays of light are gone We spend our lives in darkness Hiding away from the sun After the bomb We had nothing left No one walks the earth But the shadows of the dead They're ghosts I see them staring back Where once there stood a man Now only a silhouette Their spirits torn from this world They called home Their shadows Burnt into the stone The light is fading All hope is gone Can anyone remember What it's like to see the sun? A white flash of light And then there were none The dead accuse the living What have you done? They're ghosts They can't forgive our sins We pray for deliverance But the gods are silent Our spirits trapped here Lost and alone With these shadows Watching from the stone Blast wave expanding Consumes all in its path Trapped at ground zero Against the searing wrath Stone turns to rubble Bodies reduced to ash All that remains of them Just their silhouette Just a silhouette Now the clock is ticking The bombs not fallen yet Our world is still living We still have a chance But the leaders want more power The weapons are still intact We know what awaits us But no one will act We're ghosts
