A peaceful sea breeze and the shining sun
Blown apart by mankind’s cruelty to itself
Shattered lives, dreams, and steel
As Death swoops in to take care of his charges
Panic cuts through the black billowing smoke
And spreads its inky tendrils to the desperate
Fighting for life—more precious than it was before
The fear of death took its icy hold on them
Eire glimmers in the distance and sees the horror
A silent witness to the grim, bitter death struggle
Unfolding off its emerald shores—totally helpless
To aid the struggling masses sinking into the deep
And then there’s silence, with nothing but seagulls overhead
