the night grows long and dark.
the wind dies softly,
as i wach thenight wither away…
leaving behind only the loneliness and the sadness.
even the moon, this night, hides away behind the ark clouds.
as if in retreat, or remorse.
not wanting to dream with me tonight.
i stare out into the quiet emptiness of the steets
that once was filled with human life.
a shriek in the distance suddenly breaks my concentration,
all sences come back to life.
i ready my weapon at prone
and point to a certain distance
hopeing to fix on a target.
smoke fills the strees
and the sky breaks loose
thunderin with rockes an wizzing bye killer bullets…
built only destruction.
a truck rolls ouof the smoke
and suddenly i spot my target on the passenger side.
his face is calm.
starring at the emptiness.
i take a deep breath.
and as i exhale,
i pull the trigger.
"tango down", i say without moments hesitation.
holes drill the truck from around
and bursts into flames.
senseless…
i scope the sidewalks and nearbye windows,
for any signs of life.
nothing…
"retreat", i call out.
and as i stand up,
a terrifying chill crawls up myspine.
fire falls from the skies
i jump off the rooftop to my right
and fall ino the blood curdling screams of my dieing troops
"fallback!!!"
a hopeless cry…
the world burns,
and i stand useless.
"for what?"
i ask myself…
a life of deah…
a world created for distruction…
i cannot die…
i don´t know why…
a scent of roses catches my atention.
i turn around…
a woman in the distance…
saddened, i fall to my knees.
that face i cannot remember.
thunder…
fire…
the ea i can no longer bear…
an like nothing,
i fly away.
who ever that woman was between the flames,
i´ll never forget…
a dream…
and i hope it stays that way…
