Fly On A Windshield - Genesis

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, the wind blows hard and cold slowing

down his speed.

More and more dirt is blown up and it begins to settle on Rael’s skin and clothes, making a solid layered coat

that brings him gradually to a terrified stillness.

Blowing dust into my eyes.

The dust settles on my skin,
