The Footsteps of Time

Can you feel the footsteps Of time running out? The world’s standing… On the desert remains Of the sands of time We stand on the doorstep Of a new beginning The future's upset Life's a shameful past History's reset High on nuclear Minds so unstable Race and religion Under the table Love not peace On the table Revelations and Armageddon Omitted from the Bible Who new the end was coming We didn't change when able? Walking the streets like graveyard I’m death’s shadow My steps are tentative From the shuttering of bones And the permanent smiles of skulls Who knew the day would come When life didn’t have to fill an hour With death and destruction ‘cos there’s nothing left to kill ‘cos there’s no one left to die High on nuclear Minds so unstable Race and religion Under the table Love not peace On the table Revelations and Armageddon Omitted from the Bible Who new the end was coming We didn't change when able? Here are the footprints On the sands of time Life is a spiral as the world Is not a circle, but oval About to crack open like an egg I guess we serve the devil Why else is life such hell? Seeking to dominate a dying world How much power is enough? With such weakness…in our hearts? Revelations and Armageddon Omitted from the Bible Who new the end was coming We didn't change when able? God is forgotten Truth is unknown His light cannot be seen Darkness rules within... 07-10-2015 Thabang Jan Ngoma
