A few more seconds spanned the path 
Between success or damnation 
Mankind would face the aftermath speed 
Of this deadly confrontation 
Got to strike for the eyes 
Leave the monster running blind 
Go to cross the line 
Got to strike for those unforgiving eyes

She veiled herself with trivial thought 
A mask of insignificance 
Her daughter failed to see beyond
The fabric of irrelevance

For a moment they were face to face 
No sign of what was soon to be 
But still her mind refused to break 
Those thoughts must not be seen 
Got to strike for the eyes 
Leave the monster running blind 
Go to cross the line 
Got to strike for those unforgiving eyes
