Glass Future

Flashing lights racing on monitors lining the wall
Something is coming down, burning through the atmosphere
Reactions too slow

Tattered wings, shattered shield
No way to stop the descent
There are no signs of life, no response on the radio

Holy war, angel star
Nothing between us to soften the blow
Imminent, from afar
Radiant impact and heavenly glow

Horizon, burning red
The ground, an obsidian black
I, witness the fall
Connection turns sand into glass

Here, at the edge of reality
There, a celestial voice
I can't understand the question
Within all the noise

Holy war, angel star
Nothing between us to soften the blow
Imminent, from afar
Radiant impact and heavenly glow

See through the eyes of the fallen
Knowing that this was the end
How many wished for salvation
Upon your fatal descent
