And we were climbing up, up, up
To a safe spot so high.
We reached the top
Heaving, sighing in hoped relief
But scared of what was to come.
And then an angry man
Jumped by, with a scowl on his face
And shot three times.
My arm, my shoulder, my chest.
So close to my heart.
I knew what it was
I thought I could feel it
But I tried so hard not to believe it.
You both were fine
Concerned with the wave of water
That would destroy the town.
But I could even put my jacket on
I couldn't even stand up straight
I couldn't even breath without coughing up my body's own blood.
No one was coming.
We were walking,
But I was staggering.
I remember the wave came
It was so big, too big
Creaking down upon our heads.
It crashed
It sucked
It washed
Everything, everyone away.
I was alone
On the top of the world
Way high up, up, up
Dying.
