We Stay Behind

"There was a black rainbow, that rose up and covered the town,"
Exclaimed Howard Blue, 22
"I've never even had a nightmare or a beautiful dream about this,"
He said, as he watched the warehouses burn

The hurricane pilot swoops into the 25-mile-wide eye
And he gasps 'cause the size of it was astounding
The towering columns of cumulonimbus stretched six miles high

To friends remembered
A wooden leg, with a shoe
Detached from its owner while he slept
Twenty-two bodies were found together in violet

Living in a mausoleum, making governments of our own
As the sky turned pink four horses emerged from the water
Lead by a stallion, they start grazing on material ground

We are the ones, the ones who stay we behind, we stay behind
We are the ones, the ones who stay we behind, we stay behind
