It all happened so suddenly
As the news of the subway
Was spreading to the suburbs
A detonation submerged
All of the outskirts
As people came rushing
From every direction
Some still able to scream
With dead children in their arms
Most could barely walk
Their clothes on fire
Their hair singed
As we approached the highway
News reached us
That some kind of laser weapon
Had toasted the survivors
Of the metro bombing
And as we looked to the sky
We could smell the aeorosols
That were making the ones
Up the hill cough up blood
While we headed into the woods
Helicopters came wooshing over
And machine gun fire
Was the last thing we heard
Then blank…
