Dark tower looming
This Aeon’s image
Time to fall
Destruction and decay
Dominate all horizons
Time to fall
All this violence
New birth pangs
Time to fall
Shed our skin
With blood and pain
Time to fall
Out of these ashes
Pheonix rising
What is born?
History’s devils
Now as angels
What is born?
We’re redundant
Just detritus
What is born?
Our time passing
New rules triumph
This bleak morn
Tower falling
Entropic process
Rest in peace
We’re forgotten
Dreams are broken
Rest in peace
What was honour?
What of struggle?
Rest in peace
Evolution
Is indifferent
Rest in peace
Old gods ponder
Revolution
Time to fall
Just the chessboard
Being cleared now
That is all

I always like the use of repetition Helen, excellent response to this image.
Thanks Michael! 🙂
Breathtaking write, this is amazing. So many captivating lines, and I really adored the ending. It carries a dose of bitterness and uneasy peace, yes, but also a promise that we can take the reins and decide where to move.
Thanks so much, that is very kind! 🙂
