We Stay Behind

"There was a black rainbow

That rose up and covered the town!"

Exclaimed Howard Blue, 22

"I 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



Two friends remembered 

A wooden leg

With a shoe

Detached from its owner while he slept

Twenty-two bodies found tied together in Violet



Living in a mausoleum

Making governments of our own

As the sky turned pink, four horses emerged from the water

Led by a stallion, they 

Start grazing on neutral ground



We are the ones 

The ones who stay behind, we stay behind

We are the ones 

The ones who stay behind, we stay behind
