Distant Thunder

Earthshaking sound, how far away? 
It's hard to tell, but I hope it doesn't stay 
Potential danger, awaits us all 
Before it's over, how many more will fall? 
Can we escape the distant thunder 
Or will we ever get away? 
Defend against the ruthless hunters 
Or stay and rot in death's decay 
The rebel's call is seldom heard 
Untimeless efforts and no one says a word 
The battlecry, fierce mechanism 
It just goes on amongst their indecision
