Fierce are the tears, of a time long past
Man all alike, stuck grasping with strife
As forgetfulness, is our common sin

The ill despise, the wise, neat, and tidy
Their paths all twisted in time
Fierce are the tears, of a time long past

As perhaps, the keys left in lock
The birthday, celebration, chore, left without thought
As forgetfulness, is our common sin

All the pain of tragedy is forgotten
Joy too, gone with those decades
Fierce are the tears, of a time long past

Mindset and mind, all is outgrown in time
They long for its return, but
As forgetfulness, is our common sin

The regret is feared, and flow will their tears
Moments captured in photo, they hold
Fierce are the tears, of a time long past
As forgetfulness, is our common sin.
