As Time Passes

What was once alive is now dead
A time we spoke, now nothing’s said
And as the world spins into dread
There mightn’t be better times ahead…

Let not us fade into the masses
Us meager boys and measly lasses
For even the times when we were asses
Are now the times where greener grass is

And as time passes…

As time passes, as seasons change
As planets turn, as cities age
As stars align and fates rearrange
As stories reach their final page

As Earth is hit by last of rays
I have but one request to raise
To hold this memory of better days
So that this light forever stays

O precious time, o clock of doom
O beating rhythm, freeze this moment soon
