Analysis of the Sky Is Falling...
The sky is falling,
Ashes rain on ashen faces
People shake their heads in woe,
Isn’t Hell supposed to be below?
The sky is falling,
Death has come on silver wing
People wring their hands in fear,
How could this have ever happened here?
The sky is falling,
As the giants slowly die
People cry for what is lost,
Innocents should never pay the cost.
The sky is falling...
