Nights and the Dark

Now that we know what we are
This illusion of time has no reason 
In a world where eyes never lied
Achieve something to be remembered
A burning ember reflection in your eyes
Time stands still
Once taught
Now, diminished from sight 
Pick it up, pick up this World and run
We have no time
The powers to watch the sunrise
A time to question, a time to fight
Control the shadows of their disguise
We have time
The beauty, the obsession 
Put it in a can
Inside, a host of trinkets and bullet slugs
