Dusted

Comes the sign of wasted times
 I will wait no more
 Ever trudging through the aimless
 Forests we explore
 In our boots and money chains
 Misfitting cloaks we can't contain
 Hidden hates of urgency
 Declaring our emergency
 And up the tallest window world
 The distance was not clear
 Unoccupied my brutish thoughts
 We had no cause to fear
 A lesson so severe
 Hotter than the fire we built
 Darker than the truth
 Ignorance reflected in the windows of our youth
 Push me now beyond the bounds
 Of healing hands and thorny crowns
 And all the sadness it implies
 I've tasted with my own two eyes
 And as the cattle rack was cleared
 The floor was brightly stained
 And larger though we grew in size
 Not a thing was gained
 The fate as so ordained
