We will wait wearily to the west
for the fiery hands of the tempest
the life we live is a conquest
participles of cemetery remains
smiles decayed like monuments
and only memories shared in the sunset
will live when the earth is no more
the days we counted seems like minutes
once little toddlers, now on the brink
Moments are many but men are few
like lambs we will dance in the lion's den
unconcerned of our fate,
our faith is to drink today
and die legends of ale tomorrow
we are dwelling on sinking sands
smiling at the thought of our demise
watching and waiting blissfully
for the invincible visitor to strike
The life we live is a beautiful mirage
cooked by the agony we sire
today we smell the lavender's redolence
tomorrow our kinsmen may weep
weep when we forever sleep
the world is a conundrum that beats
like the gongs in the forests
tearing the silence of the still nights
like bats and owl arriving to play
Till the tide is right
we will smirk at the chaos
to keep living the life we never own
we're turtles in foreign shells
uncertain of our landlords
before we embark this odsessy
we shall kiss the lips and weep like babes
because the dawn is here
but the dusk is long and in limbo
