Lost here without any weapon
The fog cleared in seconds
Presenting the all feared colossus of legend and folklore
That most thought was bogus
Approaching the public eye's focal point
Photos show all the valleys and peaks of the titanic features
That I can't believe
Even though I stand in its company
Cursed with the jaw that won't close
Coupled with two legs buckling
It just emerged from the ocean
Covered in seaweed and capsized boats
It's lumbering up on the shore
With the great maw that roars
With a force that could take your bewildered face off
See fissures on its teeth that secrete lava
We're all gone
Just log it and jot down
All of the things that make it too strong to kill
As it toys with the buildings and stomps at will
They just deployed the payload
Dropping the miniature megaton bombs
Halos form on the exoskeleton
Yet they're barely dents
With the blows that they throw
The sun starts burning brightly
The prelude to some untimely end
The fog recedes entirely
Streets engulfed in a fiery breath
F16s start to scream as they fly by
Oil leaks out of a claw-gouged tanker in high tide
Wide eyed anger and panic with "End is nigh" signs
Bright ideas run finite
You could surmise the event with a whimper
A battle wherein there lies one victor
It's simple
We brought this upon ourselves
The fog that held that monster that's swatting a helicopter
Is the same damn fog that we though concealed
All our wrongdoings and all evil
Each inhumane action we watch unveil
Each innocent creature we shot and killed
Every little bit of malice that we got instilled
I walk through the soft city's hard entrails
In a shadow that stretches right off the scales
It reared its ugly head with a breath
That blew the red Horseman of Death shaped clouds asunder
With a blue shock wave too loud for the space above it
It moved in a circle and turned to face me
I viewed upwards as my innards were whirling to gravy
Nowhere to escape it
Two giant bonfires
And a mountain range of teeth
In a face that seems too happy to take me
Claws ripped through storefronts
Tore trucks in half
Devoured planes
No airport intact
Craters created on every step's impact
Sky changed to gray so fast
Snapped a synapse
But no life montage chose to flash before my eyes
It's no surprise
As a mouth of oblivion opened wide
I just felt the heat
In a golden light
