In Ruins - Falconer

From a clear blue sky

A sudden bolt came crashing down

Cracking all around, shaking the solid ground

The fortress of solitude

Was torn and shattered for the wind

Sunlight far away, fortune had gone astray

Into the crystal ball

Gazing with empty eyes he sighed

As one’s heaven fall

There’s no place to run nor hide

In ruins are the pillars of Eden

Dark clouds of misery

Came in and blurred the mind

Sharpest eyes gone blind, reasons they could not find

Uncertain prophecies

Distorted every sound thought

The vision seeking men fought through the lion’s den

Choirs of angels was drowned

By the sound of crumbling mountains one by one

The march of the demons had so now begun

Yesterday’s world was soon undone

How far to salvation?

How far to the promised land

Where the eclipse no more refuses us the light?

How far to salvation?

How far to a healing hand

That can mend the broken dream

And carry us out of the night?
