I sit here and watch as the world dies,
Sluggishly, deliberately, it declines to black,
Are we ready to say our goodbyes?
People abhor me and others despise,
Poignantly, greedily, souls we do lack,
I sit here and watch as the world dies.
Envious souls, like blinds leading blinds
The Shepard can’t lead the hens on the rack
Are we ready to say our goodbyes?
We’re merely deluding ourselves, realize—
Our past is a predator that follows our track
Will you sit here and watch as the world dies?
And Michael, left of God’s hand, he cries:
“Loved ones mislaid— things we’ll never get back,
Are you ready to say your goodbyes?”
Unlike firebirds, from ashes we cannot rise
Forever human ignorance will stack
That is why I sit here and watch as the world dies.
Is anyone ready to say their goodbyes?
