Fifty years buried; the numbers came back
Dates and the dead in a column of black
One child heard whispers; the page filled with marks
Bloody nails finished the code in the dark
Uncircled numbers pinned points to the map
Three future dates set a closing trap
Everyone else! Scratched under the bed
No last coordinates—everyone dead
Flip both threes; decode the sign
Everyone else—no one left alive
Write the date! Count the dead!
Pin each place! Read ahead!
The bureau was warned; they dismissed every claim
The wrong man ran while they chased the wrong name
A mother gets warned as the doors shut tight
One faulty switch sends the train out of line
Beneath the bed, one phrase was spread
Turn both threes—they’re E’s instead
Everyone else! Scratched under the bed
No last coordinates—everyone dead
Flip both threes; decode the sign
Everyone else—no one left alive
Write the date! Count the dead!
Pin each place! Read ahead!
Rain—then the plane falls to the ground
Eighty-one gone—the exact number found
No cut away—the sirens rise
Fire on the road fills up the sky
Numbers don’t bleed! Death takes aim
Numbers don’t scream! Counted in flame
Everyone else! Scratched under the bed
No last coordinates—everyone dead
Flip both threes; decode the sign
Everyone else—no one left alive
Everyone else—no one left alive
