Silent cries for pity
Seeking sweet revenge
Voices escape the locked innocent lips
Speaking mere pleas of liberation

Hollow sockets void of eyes
Testifying in baffled confusion
Uttering their throatless cries
Witnessed all from behind the trees
Speechless as they come

Ambling forward with heavy footing
Making way to the core of disaster
All their weight striking the ground mercilessly
A stir in the hills draws a crowd
Awakens the folk; the forsaken ones
