Worlds At War

Lightning strikes
Ground rips apart
Motors whine, gears unwind
The End is about to start

Soon there's more than one
Monstrous tripods loom
Canvassing neighborhoods
Mechanized spiders of doom

Worlds at war
The life you have yet to live is
Nevermore
The course of history changed
Forever

Run for your lives
Ear shattering screams
Bodies crushed into pulp
Torched with laser beams

Buildings blown away
Tidal waves of debris
Seas of ash and fume
Blanketing every city

Worlds at war
The life you have yet to live is
Nevermore
The course of history changed
Forever

Run!
Run and hide!
No time to pick up the shattered pieces
Of what's left of your insignificant lives

Run, run!
Amongst those who have died
Where they did stand
Mothers with babies in hand
Sons and daughters
Husbands and wives

Forever
The course of history changed
How did we ever get to this place?
Manifest destiny gone deranged
Annihilation, extermination
Impending extinction of the human race

Running to the hills
Finding refuge underground
Earth trembling overhead
Vibrates with deafening sound

Civilization left in ruin
In a matter of hours
What will come to be
Of this planet that was ours?

Worlds at war
The life you have yet to live is
Nevermore
The course of history changed
Forever

Never

Never

Never to be the same
