The sky is overcast and as rael looks back a dark cloud is descending like a balloon into times square. it rests on the ground and shapes itself into a hard edged flat surface, which solidifies

There's something solid forming in the air,
And the wall of death is lowered in times square.
No-one seems to care,
They carry on as if nothing was there.

Rael starts to run away towards columbus circle. each time he dares to take a look, the wall has moved another block. at the moment when he thinks he's maintaining his distance from the wall, th

The wind is blowing harder now,
Blowing dust into my eyes.

Making a crust I cannot move in
And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway.
