Like a Vampire in a Mirror

What will happen with man?

Please tell me what’s the plan?

A glass parking lot over the sand?

Glowing in the dark from here to Pakistan?

We seemed destined to fail

With a nature too sinful and frail

Human history one long bloody tale

Like a hunter following a blood trail,

If we’re a grain of sand in the universe

We’ve certainly perfected the hearse

Honey, your words don’t have to be so terse

Seems we have a holocaust to rehearse,

We’re on a hell bound train to non-existence

It seems violence is much too persistent

To logic and compassion, we’re too resistant

Here’s my 44 Mag, meet my assistant,

There’s something in the air, can you feel it?

I thought you and I would be a perfect fit

Just to survive requires true grit

Theater of the insane, have a chair and sit,

The dinosaurs ended from an asteroid

But it’s totally different being humanoid

Today it’s not unusual to be paranoid

Will the end result be a radioactive void?

There was a time I wanted you so near

Just like everything else in a world of fear

You disappeared like a vampire in a mirror

These days so few can be sincere,

When worlds collide, it’s not very pretty

The food shortages in a decaying city

Send your grievances to the committee

Be sure to bail when it comes down to the nitty gritty,

I’m here though sometimes I feel like I’m not

The quintessential lost astronaut

An unknown burial site on a wooded lot

The Grim Reaper mankind’s own mascot,

Going to push over now the target’s below

Signaled my squadron to tally ho

Got my bomb load ready to go

One more deadly seed to sow,

My leather jacket smells of aviation fuel

That flak and ordnance kicks like a mule

Just took some shrapnel feel like a fool

It was always a life and death’s duel,

Sorry baby hadn’t written a goodbye letter yet

It’ll only be the telegram that you get

I’m listed as Killed in Action but no regrets

I still remember the first time we met.
