The 25th Hour

Many a moon flew away

I just saw them fly

As I stood still

But time still went by

Witnessed the flame

Flame of desire for centuries

With the hope of turning colder

But it just grew red hot

Now we’re in an inferno

Burning in our selfish desire

Step out; step in

The 25th hour

We’re cursed with immortality

Choked by the flood of thoughts

Drowning in a labyrinth of greed

We won’t reach the suffice

Alas, the suffering multiplies

Still wishful to survive

Wait for the clock to strike

The 25th hour

In those curious adventures of ours,

We’ve scarred our home

Ravaged the beauty and barred our hope

Now, life, I need no more

Let the human clock strike the 25th hour!
