Posterity
In men I see the future and the past
What could have been and what might be
Promises echo in stone caverns
I step on dusty footprints of déjà vu
I hear that familiar thump
Firelight flickers on well-worn walls
Fire that burns in a throbbing heart
Lights up the souls archives
Past and future streaming
Hope and desire relentless
In men I see posterity wrought in dust
