Gravitas and darkness descended uninvited
Insufficient effort had been made to hold them at bay
This storm had been brewing ‘mongst the brambles
Gathering strength in the briars brutal disarray
A growling sky roared angrily
Foreboding fury floated through electrified air
Chaos was coming. It was on the way.
Chaos is coming. It’s here.
Upon arrival archaic window panes shatter
Historic doors ripped in whole from brass hinges
Shards of sacred stained glass splinters through
The air, strewn betwixt the day’s tattered fringes
Seek shelter! Seek shelter! Echoed chamber to chamber
Take cover! Rang throughout hallowed halls.
Huddle yourselves in a safe haven, were the warnings
Hunker down as the Republic falls
The maelstrom has broached our safe harbor
Tsunamic waves of betrayal decimate our shores
Should we survive this unprovoked siege, should we persevere
Our bay of Liberty shall be changed for evermore.
