Decline

Flight from the season
From the ghost of days long past
Portray the grave expressions
Of winter's shrine and silver grasp
A shining moment, a defining century
"Beware of the sharp edged weapon
Called human being"
Arrive; a surreal existence
Arrayed as gilded cage
Our age of dogged persistence
Out of reach the golden age
A defining moment
Our season of decline
...a declining moment
Fly;
From our pained existence
Unease at the pace of change
To a path of least resistance
Rearrange to reclaim our fate
A defining moment
Our season of decline
...a declining moment
A defining moment
Our season of decline
...a declining moment
