All alone in this cruel world
A tiny whisper goes unheard
"Please, somebody, find me here!"
The child sheds a single tear
~o~
Reaching out with pale white hands
Searching for far away lands
Quiet sobs hid by the dark
The crushing weight leaves not a spark
~o~
Curled and crying, the child now
A boy fourteen, destroyed somehow
His thousands of cries that never reached
The friends and family he beseeched
~o~
The crimson red tore through the night
Burning hot and burning bright
A single figure in the street
That brought the whole world down at his feet
~o~
Blood and flame all in the mix
Burning through the town of sticks
And so, most gone, the world crumbles
No life left under the rubble
~o~
Proud and cold the child stands
No friend nor family close at hand
"I'm alone, and that's okay"
"There's no one here that needs to stay"
