Wake Of Destruction
R Bennett Okerstrom
Hearing the echoes
Of heaven calling,
You search for direction,
Escaping.
Beholding.
The wake of destruction
That’s trying to swallow you.
Run if you must
But it always will follow you.
Extinguishing your flame
The storm’s right behind you.
Run if you must
But it always will follow you.
There’s no escape
Heaven’s still calling you
Extinguishing your flame
The storm’s right behind you.
Run if you must
But it always will follow you.
Dying for breath
Scramble for air
Reach for your helper
But nobody’s there
Digging so deep
To try and escape
But it’s far to late
You’re caught in the wake
There’s no escape
Heaven’s still calling you
Extinguishing your flame
The storm’s right behind you.
Run if you must
But it always will follow you.
There’s no escape
Heaven’s still calling you
Heaven’s still calling you
Heaven’s still calling you.
It’s calling you home.

READER'S REVIEWS (8)
DISCLAIMER: STORYMANIA DOES NOT PROVIDE AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWS. ALL REVIEWS ARE PROVIDED BY NON-ASSOCIATED VISITORS, REGARDLESS OF THE WAY THEY CALL THEMSELVES.
"As usual, great poetry. I miss the oldies but goodies you wrote way back when, but I have been reading them again today. I have an online magazine now, wish youd submit something!" -- david ''doc'' byron, vincennes , ind, usa.
"Send me the link." -- R. Bennett.
"Quite honestly R.B., I've noticed that your recent submissions are not on the same level as your earlier work. A lot of redundant, repetitive stanzas and the themes have all been done before by many. Sorry, but my candor comes in spades. " -- Richard.
"Yes, I know, but they are written that way intentionally as they are specifically for a metal band. I have to keep them simple and repetitious for that genre of music. Not quite my typical depth, but I am trying to help some friends and my standard work wouldn't do it for them." -- R. Bennett.
"As a metal fan I agree. Most of your work is far to complicated for the masses of metalheads out there. Keep writing the stuff you are writing and I'm sure someday a band will score a huge hit with it. Keep it metal." -- Steven, San Diego, CA.
"Thanks Steven. I hope someday someone will make it big and that I get the credit for the lyrics. " -- R. Bennett.
"Rock the fuck on!" -- T.
"You as well, T!" -- R. Bennett.
