Relics of the Tempest

A stranger sight was never seen
Not a soul is heard — no voices, not a face is seen
All the ships have sailed, the flights are gone
There’s a house with the windows open.
and the TV’s on
They said they knew what’s coming
The experts all agreed
It will come on one fine morning — it’s guaranteed
There’s an empty store, and a vacant shop
And a baseball lies in stillness — in the parking lot
Newspaper blows, down a dusty street
And a billboard shows me a picture — something good to eat
They said they knew the reason
The experts all agreed
Life will manifest due season — it’s been decreed
The lights are dim and the sky is pale
When the day is done are there any left who can tell the tale
On a crimson sea, and a roaring wave
Their hearts would fail them now if they looked into the grave
