the singed papers floating in the breeze
our history is written and unwritten again
and the cure has proved worse than the disease
so here we stand amongst the smoldering forgotten
snapping warnings burn into solar flares
so alive for a moment and suddenly burned out
the foundations reel as the fabric rips and tears
while relief washes away every cleansing doubt
appealing and appalling walk hand in hand
forget about the rights and wrongs
hands folded, eyes closed, no one takes a stand
the future is here and all is according to plan
put away your convictions, take a selfie instead
self-absorbed, narcissistic, bullet in the head
look at yourself smiling back in vain
the digital mask that fools only you
behold! crash of thunder, bright lights burn the haze
the pounding march of destiny approaching our shore
fierce riders driven by ancient days
fury comes with a sharp rap on your door
listen! do you hear the sound of avenging hoofbeats
steel clad shoes trampling foolish notions
a roar of unbridled wrath tearing up corroded streets
and flash of lightning burning across oceans
take heed! where are you, this moment won't last
like snapshots in the darkness
a bright light seizes the frozen past
tinder and sparks fly from the furnace
awake! stir from your slumber
this is the day that everything will change
take to your feet or be trodden under
the road is up ahead and that is all that remains
