The sky is falling
Leaving little rubies in place
They touch my face
Tracing a red scrape

The ruby red blood sets a falling pace
Running slowly down my face
Then lands on the ground
Where they gently break

But if rubies are falling from the sky
Falling from that high
Won’t people surely die?
They made my cheek bleed
Couldn’t it have killed me?

Standing here with my arms out wide
I don’t try to hide
My shoulders and face are getting scraped
But I don’t mind the slight pain
If a piece should land in my brain
Would I die in the bloody rain?

My head is tilted back to expose my face
And a ruby lands in my eye
The pain tells me I’ll always be blind
But still I look to the sky

Had my heart flown away?
Or was it my soul that escaped?
I know something has gone wrong
I don’t feel afraid

A ruby slits my lip, deep
I doubt after this I’ll be able to speak
Iron runs in through my teeth
And a shudder moves through me to my feet

I can’t help but scream
And now I know some end is coming near
Because I can finally feel fear

I fall to the ground
I sob without any sound
And wait for the death blow
That will set my heart fluttering
Before it starts to slow
And by then I’ll truly go
Go where I need to be
Because I know this was meant to happen to me
