A metronome's relentless beat, TICK TOK TICK TOK,

A rhythm of descent, a silent, sickening shock.

FOTHER MUCKER, the whisper, a curse upon the air,

For the moment you embraced, a burden you would bear.

That mythical rope, a silken, tempting lie,

A ridiculous proposition, beneath a clouded sky.

You allowed them to place it, a choice, though subtly made,

Now suffocating, the light begins to fade.

On the brink of a fate worse than death, a chilling, stark despair,

A breath withheld, a gasp that's lost in empty air.

And the blood runneth cold for the rest, a silent, tragic plea,

Fortunately or unfortunately, for those who watched you flee.

We all knew that rope was a noose, we saw the fatal knot,

We warned you, with voices strained, from a truth we'd truly got.

We told you, with passion, our words like urgent cries,

We pleaded with you, to open your closed eyes.

Yet you complied, a strange submission, deep and vast,

You refused the truth, holding to a future that wouldn't last.

They told you the feast was a famine, a cruel and twisted art,

And the famine was a feast, tearing faith apart.

Oh, your lying eyes, that saw what they desired,

Betraying vision, by false illusions fired.

Their victory your loss, a bitter, final toll,

The last nail in the coffin for all, a shattered, broken whole.
