Genesis And Witness

Tick-tock goes the clock, a rhythm cold and vast,

I watch you chase your dreams, knowing they cannot last.

You build your empires high, on foundations made of sand,

A single grain of time, can crumble all your plans.

A force you can't escape, a current ever strong,

I shape your fragile world, where you think you belong.

I spin the threads of fate, a tapestry untold,

Watch your stories fade, as futures turn old.

I am what causes ends, a force you can't defend,

Constantly changing, ticking in the background, ever rearranging.

I am what you live around, your friend and your foe,

Causing things to die, causing things to grow.

All I devour, birds, beasts, trees, flowers.

I am the quiet genesis, the silent witness.

I am also drawn, the promise of the light,

The gentle hand that guides you, through the darkest night.

I mend the broken heart, and soothe the weary soul,

A canvas for new dreams, making spirits whole.

A force you can't escape, a current ever strong,

I shape your fragile world, where you think you belong.

I spin the threads of fate, a tapestry untold,

Watch your stories fade, as futures turn old.

I am what causes ends, a force you can't defend,

Constantly changing, ticking in the background, ever rearranging.

I am what you live around, your friend and your foe,

Causing things to die, causing things to grow.

All I devour, birds, beasts, trees, flowers.

I am the quiet genesis, the silent witness.

Spend what you have wisely, for I'll always linger,

Looming in your shadow, living in your finger.

I am the driving force of the world, a gift and a curse,

I can create life, or send it to a herse.

You only have one chance, take it with glee,

For before you know it, you could die, a tragic decree.

I am what causes ends, a force you can't defend,

Constantly changing, ticking in the background, ever rearranging.

I am what you live around, your friend and your foe,

Causing things to die, causing things to grow.

All I devour, birds, beasts, trees, flowers.

I am the quiet genesis, the silent witness.

Even after you're long gone, i'll remain (the silent witness),

The echo of your life, in endless refrain (the quiet genesis).

All I devour, birds, beasts, trees flowers.

I am the quiet genesis, the silent witness.

Even after you're long gone, i'll remain (the silent witness),

The echo of your life, in endless refrain (the quiet genesis).
