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
