Time was waiting for them, they knew
Searching for knowledge, a priceless value
Throughout their journey, that time was spent
Forgotten how it came and how it went
One moment, speaking out in the streets
Shedding light upon all the lies and deceit
Next second, a bullet flashes faster than their words
Beneath this darkened sky, a pack of fallen birds
There was one who refused to wait for time
Saw past the hollow truths and witnessed the true crimes
Leaping into a world of words, all spiraling in their reach
Crashing through every wall, learning till they could teach
A spark flashed
That soul thrashed
A fire began
Problems found that can’t be outran
Blood flows, wars held at a standstill
Money stacks, bodies laid out, price per kill
With horror, they watched as the stars now begin to flicker out
Hope glowing brighter than all the fallen light, refusing to give in to the doubt
Stained past, a record of their mistakes and plights along the way
No yesterday to hold them back from tomorrow, they’ve lost everything but their way
They didn’t hold their silence, screaming out into the rain
Walking on in it, knowing that the sun won’t faze the pain
This was their only chance and final shot
Reaching fast, it’s all they got
For time waits for no man
Won’t stop until they’ve done all they can
