Comes the sign of wasted times



I will wait no more



Ever trudging through the aimless



Forests we explore



In our boots and money chains



Misfitting cloaks we can't contain



Hidden hates of urgency



Declaring our emergency



And up the tallest window world



The distance was not clear



Unoccupied my brutish thoughts



We had no cause to fear



A lesson so severe



Hotter than the fire we built



Darker than the truth



Ignorance reflected in the windows of our youth



Push me now beyond the bounds



Of healing hands and thorny crowns



And all the sadness it implies



I've tasted with my own two eyes



And as the cattlerack was cleared



The floor was brightly stained



And larger though we grew in size



Not a thing was gained



...The fate as so ordained
