Standing there in disbelief,
My body would not move.
Overwhelmed in sorrowed grief, 
Oh what was this to prove? 

A smell has filled the air tonight, 
Like none I ever knew, 
Burnt and bloody, broken up, 
Intangled in the dew.

Sirens blarring all around, 
Outsounded by the screams, 
So many shattered lives I see, 
So many shattered dreams. 

Frantic searching everywhere, 
Amoung the rubbled ground,
Chaos masking all about,
My child can't be found.

Crying loudly, no control, 
I wont believe it's true, 
The lifeless body that he holds,
He says belongs to you.
