Once so proud, never to be
Other than dignity incarnated
Wholeness of a universe not explored
Shadows and fading beings

Mountains increased

Realization of time, worked in our
Minds, they came not along
Clock was ticking,
While evolution expanded

The choir's unity deceased

Sometimes a blink behind
Increases a glimmering hope
Some of us still are shining bright
But mostly never to be found

Paranoia released
