picking up the ashes
of a fallen empire
time for this to come to a close
last call for desire

careening in this
purposless free fall 
buring emburs turn to ash
surounding us all

underlying everything that fills
thought could make our precious time stand still
we cling forever to some mortal will
fail to see beyond the windowsill

failing regimes conquer 
a mind that's bound to faulter
fail to focus the fundamental flaw
that haunts us all

you can't even see it you choose to ignore it
you think you can hide BUT you CANNOT deny it
the pattern repeating consuming defeating
your will for survival just open your eyes 
and say good bye stay alive

deadlines and faultines 
converging to one
asking and dying 
look up to the sun
