Fateful moments

(Intro) (Verse 1) Seconds wrapped around my wrist, they crackle and they hiss, Spinning like a vortex, in a whirlwind of abyss. My grim mood leans in closer, shadows trailing behind, The rope of hope tightens, around my neck it's twined. (Chorus) The signposts ring out hazily, in shadows they insist, The future's gaping maw, draws us with a silent hiss. My courage but a whisper, in the howling wind it's kissed, Yet still, within the void, hope's flickering persists. (Verse 2) The road that leads into the future, is a bottomless abyss, Dried up, now waiting quietly, its secrets to dismiss. My mind unfolds its tendrils, but often it's remiss, Stuck within the void, awaiting a new dawn's bliss. (Chorus) The signposts ring out hazily, their message, we must decode, The future's gaping maw, with mysteries to forebode. My courage but a whisper, in the stormy winds that goad, Yet within the void, hope's fire continues to explode. (Bridge) A mocking grin on fear's face, as it plays a twisted game, But fate still holds the cards, in its hand, it's all the same. But can you hear the song of life, in all its vibrant frame? Amidst the darkness, the echoes of hope's eternal flame. [fading end]
