In Nuclear Shadows

They were the last of humanity
Making love as all faced the end
Tears mingled of joy and sadness
The entire of the world had been lost
Long ago consigned to insanity
From our dreams and hopes rent
Blood drawn straight from madness
Who knew love had such a cost
Remnant survivors abandoned
Given no hope for renewal
Love is a fire inside us, hope is the fuel
To love in the shadow of destruction
Is heroism beyond that upon a battlefield
It is belief when there is nothing to believe in
