The bells announce one final act
Cacophony of muffled cries,
of centuries long breathless wails
& freedom dropped from open skies
To reveal a funeral march
Whence the mourning shall join the departed
Their resting place never to be found again
A life never lived
Wasted. on a history uncharted
A mere drop in the Evermore, inglorious age of man
A future sacrificed
Not for our sins, but for their whims
Yet an end to endless misery
The war is over, no one wins
The tall man folds his bloodstained hands
Before a thundering applause
A cheer to light that’s never born
A praise of life that never was
A sleeping pill for the downtrodden
the Escape-land from painful truths;
but joy won’t walk this earth again
for vampires in elegant suits

This flows like a river.
“A future sacrificed
