YOUR TIME HAS COME

held down too long ball & chain
forced away by the un-named
the crash has come but now it's gone
pick up your remains and move along

your time has come

ignorance, apathy, which is worse
both inflict an equal curse
doomed to one doomed to both
feel their hands around your throat

your time has come
but is it the end

a new day dawns, you pray for the old
it's much too hot to feel the cold
you feel helpless as you watch the hands turn
in your indecision you start to burn

your time has come
