Cover your ears.

"Cover your ears, son." I said as I began to cry.

Because in my head I knew that we were about to die.

"Dad, whats going on?" The screams began.

"Just cover your ears, bud." I picked him up and ran.

The screams so violent, so loud, my ears began to burst.

The pain so bad, I fell and feared for the worst.

My son fell too, and on the ground he laid.

When the ringing tunes in my ears began to play.

"Dad, get up! Whats wrong? Cant you hear me?"

I stared in his eyes, this fear I remember clearly.

I couldnt hear, the screams so loud.

Until I saw his mother standing tall and proud.

"Run, Jason run!" I yelled with a final breath.

I stood and I knew, this would be my final step.

The ringing in my ears, she ripped away my soul.

The cost of love is too high, I paid this at the toll.
