No Way Out - Hypergiant

The shattered skyline

Leering down

Over acid sea

Volcanic plumes blot out the sun

Blot out the sun

It stares at me

Crushing my chest

A lifeless, obverse reflection

Of myself

Our mother’s womb

A nuclear tomb

In silent judgement

All our kind will die

Shell-shocked neurons, flash of light

Burning daggers pierce my sight

Firmament from earth unbound

A burial ground

Plague and plunder, death of all

Starvation of the soul

Blood and fire, storm and drought

No way out

With cracking hands

Held to the sky

Drowning in

Desperate cries

Gaze high with sunken eyes

He arrives

You will pray for death before the end comes
