Strange Times

It was a time of incredible things haunting a future not yet seen

People had taken their knees for far too long

And the untimely return of the mysteriously missing was upon us all

For all good things came to those who waited, but the others

It was time for the others to reap what they had sown for so long

The reward for their incredulous ways was coming for them

Time awaits none of the race of man

They were all about to face the piper

When chaos and fear became the tender

And the ignorant became the ruling class

They would learn where they'd turned things all around

As their lives were driving into the once stable ground

It was a time of treachery among the ignorant who believed

They didn't want to do anything but trust the words from the squares

And nothing anyone could say would change their mindless zombie ways

But don't worry, for they are the ones for whom a heavy price is paid

It was a time of reckoning

And none saw it more than the beaten and bloodied

As those ignorant enough to take up arms against the right

Would be hunted into the night, wishing they'd listened and studied

For they were the pawns who were used by the power-hungry

Terrorizing into anarchy and chaos

Plastered about for the world to see

While evil watched from afar, enjoying their future victory

It would become a time of realization

There are plain and simple facts of life

And to ignore them is to court disaster

That was how civilization courted its own death
