High above the clouds, before the crack of dawn

Triumvirate of aircraft, an allied operation

Descending from the heavens, target in sight

Deploy the munitions! An airborne strike

Separated by the horror miles away

Dropping devastation on the enemy

Millions dead, innocents gone

Collateral damage

Death from above

Rain of ruin amidst a deadly war

Atomic flash none could ignore

Skeletons of buildings left in its wake

Bathed in radiation, more lives to take

Separated by the horror miles away

Dropping devastation on the enemy

Millions dead, innocents gone

Collateral damage

Death from above

The apex predator, hunting in the sky

No warning to opposition until they die

Killing without blame, violent diplomacy

Any could be next, no accountability

Separated by the horror miles away

Dropping devastation on the enemy

Millions dead, innocents gone

Collateral damage

Death from above
