Flip of the switch
smiles and laughter...
Flip of the switch
depression and tears.
Listen to the sirens
jump to her feet
Listen to the sirens
Surpress all their fears.
Flip of the switch
her profession no longer
Flip of the switch
the tradition is broken.
Great Grandad & Grandad
and Daddy so brave
"The family so heroic"
Shall no longer be spoken.
Flip of the switch
she curls up in the darkness
Flip of the switch
she sits all alone.
The pit of her being
a large gaping hole
Solice sorely lacking
new sirens atone.
