Tick
Tick
Tick
War
rages unabated
Skirmishes
turn to all-out war
Flashpoint
bubble under the surface
Explode
into the consciousness'
In
this world, there is no peace
In
this world, there is no respite
No
calm amid the storm
The
never ending struggle for dominance
Permeates
every waking moment
Darkness
drowns the light of this world
Smothering
it in a cloak of sorrow
Where
only flashes of hope flicker
Dimly
flickering on the battlefield
Where
the corpse of hope lies unattended
Weak,
but not forgotten
Broken,
but not subdued
Still,
but never silent
Tick
Tick
Tick
The
endless rhythm churns away
The
metronome keeps its beat
Never
changing always steady
The
to and fro continues
In
the quiet of the night
Endlessly
changing sides
The
pro's and the cons
The
good and the evil
Constantly
battling for control
Ideas
race and stagger
Thoughts
fall to barren waste
Sparks
fly inside the torment
And
crash on golden ponds
Which
burst their banks and flood
In
torrents over the silence
And
the roar of insanity is deafening
Drowning
out the cries of peace
Tick
Tick
Tick
Which
side will win this war?
