Echos-The Absence

Echos - The Absence Blinded behind walls of Self built stained glass Focus enters eyes well watered At last, the eyes with vision split Hewn end to end, life force leaked From sun-cracked skin In the blink of an eye, dying too is the quick This life story to tell with one second to live The hammer comes down and thunder strikes Where we burn fast in the build of our lives Slowing down to see the mountains you built This life story to tell with one second to live Slowing down to see the time that passed you by Your life story to tell with only one second to live Time takes throne to purge the fill of our flight When days turn into years and a loss of life Death rattles a mile away from your restless symphony The ridden thought unsound The shadows that crept lonely all around The hammer comes down and thunder strikes Where we burn fast in the build of our lives Now waiting will just not work When tales must be told, changed and retold Slowing down to see the mountains you built This life story to tell with one second to live Slowing down to see the time that passed you by Your life story to tell with only one second to live Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Slowing down to see the mountains you built This life story to tell with one second to live Slowing down to see the time that passed you by Your life story to tell with only one second to live Slowing down to see the mountains you built Slowing down, your life story to tell Slowing down with one second to live
