[ SciFi & Fantasy ] Worlds At War

 
Lightning strikes  
Ground rips apart  
Motors whine, gears unwind  
The End is about to start  
  
Soon there's more than one  
Monstrous tripods loom  
Canvassing neighborhoods;  
mecha-spiders of doom  
   
Worlds at war  
The life you have yet to live is  
nevermore  
The course of history changed  
forever  
   
Run for your lives  
Ear shattering screams  
Bodies crushed into pulp  
Torched with laser beams  
   
Buildings blown away  
Tidal waves of debris  
Seas of ash and fume  
Blanket every city  
   
Worlds at war  
The life you have yet to live is  
nevermore  
The course of history changed  
forever  
   
Run!  
Run and hide!  
No time to pick up the shattered pieces---  
what's left of your insignificant lives  
   
Run, run  
amongst those who have died  
where they did stand---  
mothers with babies in hand  
sons and daughters  
husbands, wives  
   
Forever  
the course of history changed  
How did we ever get to this place?  
Manifest Destiny gone deranged  
Annihilation, extermination  
Impending extinction of the human race  
   
Running to the hills  
Finding refuge underground  
Earth trembling overhead  
Deafening sound  
   
Civilization left in ruin  
in a matter of hours  
What will become of this planet  
that was once ours?  
   
Worlds at war  
The life you have yet to live is  
nevermore  
The course of history changed  
forever  
   
Never  
   
never  
   
NEVER to be the same
