The One Minute War

Suddenly the bombs fell from the sky
Lighting up the city like the northern lights
Like puppetry, the stars swayed from side to side
So sincerely, pretty dancing fireflies
Time forgot all the things she said
I know you won’t, she etched them in your head
Skylines change for a year or two
Some memories fade, but some pull through
Suddenly a white flag fell from the sky
Floated down and chased away the dragonflies
Like ecstasy, the tears streamed from my eyes
As the dust cloud disappeared, the smell of death did rise
Time forgot all the things she said
I know you won’t, she etched them in your head
Skylines change for a year or two
Some memories fade, but some pull through
I left everything behind
I left everything behind
