What happened to us in that dark way?
Did cars buzzing by spend their time oblivious to our calls to our mothers and fathers?
Did the lights ever come on?
From the first step to the last
Torn aluminum
(Davy was close to tears at the name change)
Glass from fist-shattered windows
Dirty things, all about us
What happened?
What happened to us on the front
The place had the stench of lost kids from across the sea
That's how death smells
Alone
Look up to the skycraft
They split and make dead the clouds with exhaust
They do not blink and they are not proud
To think, one-hundred and fifteen years later, we blew it up
We watched his majesty go down and bathe in his own blood
Ex
