And so he gazed beyond the horizon.
"Is this what we have become?", he said. "Is this the peak of our civilisation? Metal and concrete? The ink with which we write our history, carved into the earth itself? Commanders of life, bringers of ...death and destruction?"
She stood there, silent.
"It doesn't matter", she finally said. "Nothing ever lasts. In a million years, who then will remember our greatest victories and the failures that followed them? We're but a shadow of a dying star."
I look outside this wall
We never learned our lessons
No one still around, for sure
To hear my confessions
And maybe all we had is lost
Our greatest moments all forgotten
And all we've built has turned to dust
Our colors fade away -- Forgotten
This entry is my last
Soon I close all connections
Echoes of the past
Far beyond addiction
And maybe all we learned is lost
The greatest moments all forgotten
And all we've built is turned to dust
The colors fade away -- Forgotten
The lights went out, one by one, all covered by silence. Layers of shadows added to shadows, hiding what was always hidden. Memories lasting through generations, no one there to carry them on. Even time reached it's last turn... waiting.
Waiting...
Then time suddenly starts over. And in the smallest of places, a light was lit.
