Elegy For A Lost Summer

Sun burst sky

Crash of thunder

Earth split wide

Pulled me under

This is the day we tore asunder

Gone forever - the sense of wonder

Heat beat down

Burned inside me

Room ablaze

Melted round me

Don't you see the same

As you look right through me?

Air in flames

Your words all spoken

Siren screamed

The world tore open

Can you feel this pain

And keep your heart unbroken?

Summer's all on fire

Blood's burning in my veins

Cars collide

'Plane crashes

Life carries on the same

Never thought such things could happen

Never believed in hell

Hell on earth is love breaking

And what remains to tell.
