Mushroom Cloud

Screams become silent — A war song

The moment our screams become silent. Our when is due to never come. Stand as one — rest assured — we are done. Witnessing another sacrifice of inspiration. Repentance against revenge.

Inside the mushroom cloud — our screams become silent. Inside the mushroom cloud — our when is due to never come.

Nothingness — given enough. Fundamental boundary. Strength — taken enough. Greatness in disarray.

Hold hands with carnage — inside the mushroom cloud — the common kill — come and kill. Hold hands with carnage — inside the mushroom cloud — the common kill — come and kill. Our when is due to never come.
