indeed there will be time

say nothing that others may remember
your task's a simple one to get back home
the fire of wrath cools to a glowing ember

choices seem much clearer this september
we hide the key beneath the garden gnome
say nothing that others may remember

there will be other portents come december
for now we laugh and frolic in the foam
the fire of wrath cools to a glowing ember

the corpse of justice we will soon dismember
burying her deep beneath the silent loam
say nothing that others may remember

a simple truth but rawer than november
there is no mermaid with her busy comb
the fire of wrath cools to a glowing ember

duties fall too soon upon each member
there's no one left who'd ever want to roam
say nothing that others may remember
the fire of wrath cools to a glowing ember
