Sebastian Kerebs - When the Music Ends

When the music ends
And the silence falls
When the world returns
And the people come out

When the birds are chirping
And the insects float
When the sun beats down
And the people walk about

When time stands still
Its manner soft and meek
Its hands long and thin
And the people start to see

The wind howls a gale
Through the empty streets
Passing Ol' Johnny's Bar
The sign outside sings a creak

As the day comes of age
And the bell tolls three
A change begins to stir
But the people do not see

A chill runs through their spines
Colder than the morning's kiss
When the people felt it climb
They knew that something was amiss

The town is not as it was
There are things here to fear
When the light turns to shadow
The people know it's here

When the rains start to fall
When the heart longs to see
The panic sets in
The people are free

Chaos runs the streets
Looting abounds in common
Morals discarded for sin
The people are hungry

The storm is here
Echoes harken over the cape
When you can only stare
The people dream of escape

The sound is deafening
Screams paint the town
The traditions aren't leaving
The people bury their dead in the ground

Nausea and heat
Blood, vomit and piss
Running through Sycamore St
The people did this

A stranger wanders the town
With something on his mind
They come and kick him onto the ground
Desperately calling for help

As quickly as it began
The chaos starts to mend
A silence falls upon the land
When the music ends
