| All of mankind grows and falls while seconds pass to centuries And none of the ones left behind can find the answer to what’s meant of these Temples built in ancient times, lines written in the bible Ignorance breeds confusion, birthing chaos, war, and squabble While every turn and twitch of hands marks a moments stark abscission One man thinks inside his mind with blurry, clouded vision How many days can possibly reside within this hour? And all he wants is someone who will praise him for his power Not to bow or even beg, just simply nod in their agreement That all his work was not in vain, to bring him closer to the cement That every picture taken doesn’t fade to nonexistence The lens, the frame, the cameras flash; they serve as his resistance To forgotten times, dead languages, and man’s own great collapse And so he strives to capture time itself within his photographs He reflects upon the devastation and thinks that man can now do no worse But the ticking clocks with twirling hands, their swinging pendulum it lowers With a razors edge, moving back and forth, it slices time into its portions While everyone lines up to find their months are now divided The calendar hangs gutted, pages flip full of distortions But dates erased can’t be replaced no matter where they hide it |
