Long Shadows

A moment of laughter, and all is forgotten
The life that has passed, at it's core, is still rotten
Too easy to forget, too easy to move on
Long Shadows remain, shining dark on what's wrong

Your achievement and self come with baby steps, slowly
Your downfall and losses quick, even unholy
Pleasure and greed line the trophy cases of fools
Long Shadows remain, to show history still rules

The mirror will mock you and show your sweet disguise
Again Time ends victorious while death fills your eyes
Legacy and lasting works will elude your selfish grip
Long Shadows remain, you're at the end of your trip
