- cluster -

we heard the voice of explosions
fire was raining from the sky -
and so quickly ran for cover
with no time to wonder why.

we hid beneath the shattered windows
and never did make a sound -
but then the roof came crashing down
on the already broken ground.

we heard the voice of explosions
fire was raining from the sky -
and so quickly ran for cover
with no time to question why.
we hid beneath the shattered windows
and never did make a sound -
but then the roof came crashing down
on the already broken ground.

we heard the voice of explosions
fire was raining from the sky -
and so quickly ran for cover
with no time to reason why.
we hid beneath the shattered windows
and we never did make a sound -
but then the roof came crashing down
upon the already broken ground.

- reason -

once; we were children- standing
in the Sun
but with the Sun- our souls departed
and the evening rain
and the dark of night
they could not wash away
they could dispel the shadows.
