They Didn'T Make It

The fight was beyond winning The fall was beyond rescue The dive was beyond swimming Thing is, an old start needs no cue Neither does a new end that’s not new Time was mocking time, how? Our time, the minutes left, only a few While others time was on the go Who knew what is, is actually so? Deluded into thinking about the future Never thought about tomorrow Humanity can’t fight the force of nature One too many eclipse’s for us finely permanently put night before day Erased the clarity of light and invited the obscurity of darkness to stay
