Headlights stare at the path ahead,
And golden reflectors peer back in dread;
Blurry signs wave in warning to slow down,
But you know better than to stay in town.

Sirens wail their red and blue,
As they close in on you,
but you’ve not to worry – you’re not their quarry;
They’ve bigger concerns to attend to.

Discord drums in the street,
Banging pots and marching feet;
Dread of disease is itself a sickness,
That spreads with unnerving quickness.

Hungry fellows stalk neighbors in the night,
And commit their felonies by camera light,
Pitching another log into the fire,
and stirring the embers red and bright.

The whole world is poised the catch aflame -
And rather than put out the fire, they point and blame.
Reason cries out they stop - instinct implores them on;
Heat and hormones and another red dawn.

A remastered masterwork by  wolfbrother9393 - the original submission can be found here .

This piece was doubly inspired by  fauxlacine - who crafted 'Cityscape' .
Although I have long since changed the trajectory of Sofia's story, I always loved that particular piece - and decided to rework the description to reflect some of the events of her ongoing story in "Dog Eat Dog". I feel the tones of uncertainty and desperation are just as accurately captured in the audio as they were for the original macro-inspired piece.

I highly encourage you to check out her story as well as Galileo's webpages and audio-portfolio. You can find them at;
