We were sleeping br When the dirty water br Came rushing down, br Drowning our arrogance br And releasing our fears br Into the atmosphere. br br We were stunned. br Ravaged by consequence br Melting around our feet. br Disorienting panic br Was devoted to the air, br Igniting exhausting anarchy. br br Pandemonium ruled br This day br While we were rendered speechless, br Ruined by our own br Inability to escape br Such confounding spoils. br br The dirty water rose, br Bringing indignant death br And uniting a new breed, br The best and worst br Humanity has to offer br To this brave, old world. br br Voices lifted into the molten sky, br Crying for help br Beyond comprehension, br Catapulting an echo br Even as it occurred br Around the globe.
