The Escape - Praying Mantis

Picture book stories films on the scream

Image of what they may have been

Here on the doorstep

That vision is here

War of the worlds the ultimate fear

Time stood still on the verge of midnight

The power is gone there won’t be a fight

Cities in ashes the seas run red

Life disappeared though nothing was said

In the story book you stare

In life it’s already there

You have walked an empty road

Never stepped out into the cold

Run away froum your fears

Run away from this life

Lie awake in your dreams tonight

Hide away all these years

Hide away in your tears

Live your life in your dreams tonight

People now running run for ther lives

Into the hills anywhere the’d hide

Now what’s safe all sanctuary gone

Eyes in the sky seek the very last one

Few were spared and taken away

What lay ahead no one could say

Journey that would take us where

Life had gone who would care

Ask yourself if you are dreaming

Wonder what it’s all about

We will never see the future

How far that we can go

A race to see what lies beyond

Live your life forget the shadow

Open up your eyes and see the world

Take each day and forget tomorrow

For each one could be the last

No one could ever say your prayers
