FIRE FROM THE SKY

Shreeee shreeee
Damn that sound
KUMPH! KUMPH!
Scared and trembling
We hug the ground

Yelling, screaming
Mass confusion
Shreeee KUMPH!
Flashes, concussion
Festive illusion

Shreeee KUMPH!
I'm hit, I'm hit
I soon cry
Please dear God
don't let me die

Shreeee KUMPH!
Out in the open
Helpless we cower
Minh rockets rain
They wield the power

At last, the quiet
No one is dead
I tremble and shake
In my sweat filled bed

The battle is over
But the war rages on
'Til the last warrior surrenders
And silently passes on
