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 have 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

(Silhouettes)

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 silhouettes

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
