The Old Ones
We have lived for over a million years
we know what has begun
we have witnessed the downfall
felt a quiver of rains tears
but now we feel the end is near.
So alas we may finally rest
too long we have lingered
decaying bit by bit
sorrow the burden we carry
for much that has been lost.
We will just fade away into the night
a night that will last for eternity
in the dark we can close our eyes
and never think again of what we compromised.
Once when we had the strength
we stood by and watched motionless
never believing it could come to this
arrogant in our own immortality.
But the earth is no longer ours
and now powerless we watch it taken
at last they will destroy themselves
and release us from our bonds
to the soul that once was ours.
Soon we will embrace sweet oblivion
that will come at the end of our existence
maybe there we can forget
the pain and regret for what we have allowed.
Now we just want to disappear
cling to some remaining visions
of what once the world was
before the last remnants evaporate
and we have only nightmares
with no dreams for our slumber.

Damn you! Why do these lines have to be so darned good?
"Now we just want to disappear

I curse you in a good way!
Enjoyed it, again! As usual!
