It is time.
There is nothing left to give
All that was has left deserted
What is left is pain
Of the scars that wont ever heal
Dear, thank you for the reminder
That nothing lasts forever
Not you, not me.

It is time.
With the remains of what is left of a corpse
Empty shell charred to the ashes
Do not look back for there is nothing left to behold
Only a gaping hole where a heart once was
Dear, thank you for the reminder
That nothing lasts forever
Not life, not death.

It is time.
Tonight may rebirth be a splendrous breathe of life
The carcass be anointed with oil
What once remained pure will be lost
Stained black with hopelessness
With a mellow song of wasted dreams
A new phoenix will emerge from the soot
Stronger than the one before
Dear, thank you for the reminder
That nothing lasts forever.
Not us, not love.
