Fallen Angels

The sky is grey, clouds are black
Smoke billows across bloodstained ground
Desperate screams can be heard for miles
Tears trickle down my face, still I make no sound

A sense of helplessness all around
Thick aroma of blood in the air
People lie fatally injured on the ground
Blood and sweat have matted my hair

Explosions continue to erupt
More heroes silently fall
Once they stood strong and proud
Now there's barely nothing left at all

Gunshots ring loud and clear
Surrounded by enemy's fire
This morning we were safe and laughing
Now we're in a situation so dire

Eyes dart rapidly in every direction
Trying to make sense of this horror
Fear is slowly crushing my soul
Wondering if I'll be here tomorrow

So many lives have been lost
More families lose someone they love
So many champions and heroes
Being claimed from up above

There's not many left standing
Everyone is in a world of pain
How can some people be so cruel
To treat life as some kind of game?

More screams can be heard
As people are separated from limbs
Now I can feel overwhelming terror
Gripping me from within

Suddenly pain rips through me
As I land hard on the ground
Screams die inside my throat
Not making a single sound

So many fighting for honour and freedom
Blood on each and every face
So many fallen angels lie dying
So many lives just a waste
