Strangers

We were woken up by the shrill sound
of the stones they threw on the windows
They finally found us; I don't know how
They were here, all silent like shadows in the dark,
staring at us with a piercing vacant look They were all so different
All so different and yet the same

They stare at the void

I feel like we're trapped again
They see us clearly, we can't hide
Make a decision now!
They move slowly to our house; I see some of them lighting torches
Our haven of peace is weakening more and more,
even though they now choke each issue by surrounding the house

They stare at the void
