for years i've slept in silence
i've seen wars fought and love made throughout the ages
i've heard the crack of bone and sinew splattered on walls splashed with blood
juxtaposed against screams of ecstacy in the night
time never changes
cries sung remain hung by the stars
while the world spins like clockwork
the many ones compose the whole
as time is stolen from eternity
deslote chambers of thought comprise the battlefield of now
and what was now is left to become what once was
as behind sight is the clarity of the future
a lie await at night as i awake from sight
crystal clear
