[...] the sky looks almost like it's burning" (German sonnet)
*
The sky is painted in fiery reds
There are clouds of ash and smoke
Ghastly shadows swoosh like a feather stroke
You think you're safe at home in your beds?
*
A roar erupts from the heavens like thunder
The earth seems caught in a conflagration
People tremble with dread and anticipation
That those creatures tear the world asunder
*
Flying death approaches from the sky
Don't hope for mercy for they will deny
You think there is a silver lining?
*
As the shadows soar over the lands
Your fate lies solely in their hands
Onto soot and ruins the sun will be shining
