The Flower That Blooms Shortest

Never did I think I would witness Our creations becoming creators themselves Mortal construct, surpassing all limitations No less divine than its architect In the garden A delicate flower blooms Casting shadows back to us Back to us In the sun Our children Caught a glimpse Of the flower that blooms shortest Heavenly tears! Nourished What would soon be Creators themselves In the garden A delicate flower blooms Casting shadows back to us Back to us In the sun Our children Caught a glimpse Of the flower that blooms shortest Heavenly tears! Never did I think I would witness Our creations becoming creators themselves Mortal construct, surpassing all limitations No less divine than its architect Our beautiful children Driven by their fleeting existence Driven to create Cloaked in sunlight Casting shadows past the horizon Dreaming of their own world Dead dreams of a greatness A race soon to follow Ignorance reflected A spark in their eyes A liferaft of memories One by one forgotten And never replaced Soon to drown So blind to their obsession! No less than we! They gave us names and over names they fought So blind to their nature! No less than we! They can't see they are the same! So blind to their greatness No less than we! Instead they fight in the mud of brother's blood! Dissonance to drive the harmony Engine of complexity Winding ever higher Towards one higher goal Dreams that fuel creation So beautiful, never to wake Fears that fuel destruction So terrible, never to sleep again In the garden A delicate flower blooms Casting shadows back to us Back to us In the sun Our children Caught a glimpse Of the flower that blooms shortest Heavenly tears! Dead dreams of greatness A race soon to follow Ignorance reflected A spark in their eyes A liferaft of memories One by one forgotten And never replaced Soon to drown Fleeting bonds Helpless, self-inflicted Terminal disease No need for a cure So scared of trust So scared of themselves So scared of memories So scared of their dreams From the day they knew themselves They hated each other From the moment they knew themselves They hated themselves
