Woke up one bright morning
with a vision in my head.
A catastrophic warning
all my friends were dead.
No one seemed to notice,
but the sky had turned to red.
An atomic age was dawning
the governors all had fled.
The people who remained
all were filled with dread.
The howling and the wailing
were more than I could bare.
The people in the city streets
we're all filled with despair.
Their homes had been demolished
it seemed that no one cared.
Blood ran in the gutters
we stopped and bowed our heads.
The loud and ceaseless mourning
stung our tender ears.
The future was unveiling
our eyes were filled with tears.
The enemy was upon us
approaching with taunting jeers.
We faltered in our footsteps
embraced our sudden doom,
but on the bright horizon
A light displaced the gloom!
