will this imprint last forever
will the centuries erode
everyone and everything you knew before


through the distant coming echoes
sounding oh so cold and crass

did you hear the sounding line

don't speak too soon

you're driving blind
heading for a curve


through the cameras at my distance
I saw a songbird lost in heat


trembling, like I never saw before

don't speak too soon

the consequence will come down
in a burning fire of rain


don't wait too long
the aftermath
will hit you like a biblical device

on man

will this imprint last forever

will the centuries erode
everyone and everything you knew before
