Splintered blasts the call of hollow Shed the skin that envelops Fall against the stratosphere The burning casts demonic red Tremors shake our assuredness I grab at that which aids my stay From yonder porthole window breaks The greatest show on earth Pay loads rise like seedlings Each strident bloom signals defeat Front row seat to the tragedy Our hubris staged this malady Every soul aboard those ships is lost Their masts submerge below the cusp Why does this idol craft remain? What spared me such a fate? How does one accept this lot This hold carries the best of us My asphyxiation held at bay By my steely resolve I will not go down
