Victory's Dance Is Over
Shimmers falling through
The panes of twilight glass
Finds the shadows
Facing this sleepless man
Lying deep within lives limbo
His world of nothing
Algorithms in his head
Echo silent sounds of dreaming
Outside he hears…
The earth
And her struggles
Just for breathing
Beneath the sirens
Of the far away night
Blood stains like rain
Running in gutters of city streets
It’s the last time he remembers
If he ever had a real friend
Because death is always…
Just days around the bend
And in his ears...
Heart beats throb on and on
Shallow like drum's rhythms
Reminding him again, victory’s dance is nearly done
