Analysis of Harmless we are until the day
Harmless we are until the day.
Before the wind changed speed
Before the day closed in
Leaving us to be soaking in the rain.
Having feelings of something not right
Steamy drips ceiling collapsed.
Sectioned in a loop whole of revenge
The evil spread on the edge
Cargo vans escaped the land
Men gathered their ammo
On a mission... death in hand.
Before served cold as planned.
