To Brian Edmonds, RIP.

lyrics

Did the Moirai get through to Mercy?
Cause I don't understand...
The more I try to talk to her,
The answers seem so offhand,
And tell me why the seedling was stamped out,
Cold & unexpected,
While I and many others
Got our chances resurrected, now,

20 short revolutions
Around the spectating sun,
And if you can tell me, please tell me why
I'll hit 21
And I know the temporal rose
Will eventually wither away,
But did it have to be cut short
And have its red give fade to gray?

Oh hey hey
How things change
I sit and I wait, I wait, I wait
Waiting for May

Potential shimmered perpetually
Like a ship wandering the sea,
Guided by the warmth of the sky
And the will that wills to be,
But the hope was met with fire
And the passion was met with dust,
Now a family has lost one of their own
And the world someone it could trust

Oh hey hey
How things change
I sit and I wait, I wait, I wait
Waiting for May, for May, for May

Did the Moirai get through to Mercy?
Cause I don't understand...
The more I try to talk to her
The answers seem so offhand,
And I know the temporal rose
Will eventually wither away,
But did it have to be cut short
And have its red give fade to gray?

Oh hey hey
How things change
I sit and I wait, I wait, I wait
Waiting for May, for May, for May
