This temple…

Will never be rebuilt

Its passages are permanently obstructed

There is no treasure to plunder

No wonders to explore

Leave it to crumble

To fall to ruin

One day…

It will be a wonder

The unpassaged temple

The unplundered treasure

But until that day

It is simply a building

A blight on the landscape

Perhaps we should

Demolish this temple

Give history…

A place to start

Defiance

Defiance

A brief blast of breeze

Crushes clay to dust

Daring Death to

Extend ennui

Forever

The End of TIme

The End of Time

So hold me till I break

I’m made of sterner stuff

The universe will crumble first

Before it gets to rough

You have the best of hearts, love

When intentions mean it all

But watch your step when walking

Pride goeth before the fall

Children often don’t think

And taunt before they listen

But you and I will laugh till dawn

As they feed their own ambition

What matters at the end of time?

Who waits when daylight breaks?

The moon will only laugh at them

Who really knows the price, the stakes?

Catch Me

Catch Me

If I stumble, if I fall

Who will be there to catch me?

My internal support is crumbling

No one can see the braces

How much I take?

Just to hold me up

I need another hand

Someone to lend support

Cause maybe I’ll still fall

But I won’t fall as far
