Perfect

by Nick Gisburne





They never told us where they came from
Does it matter now?
What’s important is they’re never going back
When they demolished our defences
Still we wondered how
They could stain the skies and burn the oceans black

When their shadows blocked the sun
We had nowhere else to run
So they took this world by force
Without remorse

They didn’t bring us Armageddon
How did we survive
When the scourge that should have ended us fell down?
The shadows had another purpose
Keeping us alive
Pouring pain on every city, every town

When their shadows blocked the sun
We had nowhere else to run
So they took this world by force
Without remorse

As the world forever turns
Every soul forever burns
Immortal, in our perfect plastic tomb

It’s not important what they wanted
Nothing matters now
We will never die, eternally preserved
But if the shadows won’t release us
All of us, somehow
Will remember we received what we deserved

When their shadows blocked the sun
We had nowhere else to run
So they took this world by force
Without remorse

As the world forever turns
Every soul in silence burns

As the world forever turns
Every soul in silence burns

In the torment of our doom
In our perfect plastic tomb

Forever
