When Smoke Has Settled

As bullets divide the air
As warcries outnumber the woes of despair
As missiles hover through a desecrated sky
Like strident messengers that wait for no reply

Carcasses of twisted truths
Lie crippled in worthlessness
Who will triumph?
Have a guess...

When smoke has settled
We will see what's left behind
When smoke has settled
And fires decline

As long-lost causes fade at last
As the last soul is wasted for the past
As ruins are king
As the smokes are fading in

When smoke has settled...
