The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this:

The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies
Picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze

Wow this is stunning. Your accuracy to realism is astounding. The hair is so soft and flowy. The eyes show a lot of his emotions and thoughts. Sadness? A bit of pleasure? The colors are so soft and very well blended. The colors indicate a cold feeling, emotion wise.
The only thing is his mouth seems a little off center, mostly because of the way you curved the line going from his nose to his mouth. Also his nose is held unevenly; one nostril is shown more than the other. I'm not sure if you were going for a certain expression or not but it just looks a little off.
Otherwise it's a very effective piece. The blood on his cheek really stands out and adds to the emotional pull of the piece.
