Call For Flares lyrics

I see the uncertain silence of the night

Beneath its obscuring pall, strirrings of life

A distant voice breaks the still surroundings

The droning of a call for flares

It resounds through the labrinth's corridors

Then a penetrating 'pop', unmistakable

And a trail into the celestial heavens

As if a close falling star, a cursed comet

That signals the omnious destiny to be

Deemed by an omnipotent diety

Then the chuted meteor descends

Ever so slowly, unpredictably, unendingly

So brief for those who launched them

So eternal for those trying to escape them

Heaven's light peers into the jungle canopy

Beams of light trail in lengths scattered

Yet so uniformally bending on descent

As if shining a light through a ragged blind

Revealing only in hightlights passing

Quickly showing hidden dynamic shadows

At times the lights over are brilliant white

Clear as if the midday shining above

But sometimes they are a sinister red

That paints a tapestry is if flowing blood

One of horror, one of panic and terror

Then the crackling of weaponry and shouts

The chaos of outrunning the light

Finding the darkness, finding safe haven

Exposure or movement, magnets of doom

Strips of canopy light that tear the flesh

As the rays bend, stray, and dim

Sporatic firing toward muzzle glare

Silence overtakes this arbeal world again

There will be no sleep this night

The dawn will reveal calamitie's claim
