Face To Face

A few more seconds spanned the path

Between success or damnation

Mankind would face the aftermath speed

Of this deadly confrontation

Got to strike for the eyes

Leave the monster running blind

Go to cross the line

Got to strike for those unforgiving eyes

She veiled herself with trivial thought

A mask of insignificance

Her daughter failed to see beyond

The fabric of irrelevance

For a moment they were face to face

No sign of what was soon to be

But still her mind refused to break

Those thoughts must not be seen

Got to strike for the eyes

Leave the monster running blind

Go to cross the line

Got to strike for those unforgiving eyes
