Comes a sign of wasted times   I will wait no more   Ever trudging through the aimless   Forest we explore   In our boots and money chains   Misfitting cloaks we can't contain   Hidden hates of urgency   Declaring our emergency   And up the tallest window world   The distance was not clear   Unoccupied with brutish thoughts   We had no cause to fear   A lesson so severe   Hotter than the fire we build   Darker than the truth   Ignorance reflected in   The windows of our youth   Push me now beyond the bounds   Of healing hands and thorny crowns   And all the sadness it implies   I've tasted with my own two eyes   And as the catlle rack was cleaned   The floor was brightly stained   And larger though we grew in size   Not a thing was gained   But fate has so ordained
