Midnight alignment
By Melancholic VIncent
The world is a metal shaped
Clockworking device
Tick,
tack
Tick, tack
Banging at the sound of battle
drums
Beating at the speed of heart beats
March,
march!
March, march!
Trembling
at the rush of steel impetus
Cracking at the hysteria of frantic
ammo
Tick, tack
Tick, tack
Every
year, every day
Every hour, every second
Expiring at the rate
of brain synapses
Ending at the death of thousand people
Bang,
bang!
Bang, bang!
Marking a fuse with a death
warranty
Launching a rocket with a nuclear warhead
Tick!Tack!
Time is nigh!
Time is now!
It’s eleven, fifty five
Ticking
until the final countdown
It’s eleven, fifty six
Ta'king into the fatal fallout
Tick!Tack!
Time is nigh!
Time
is now!
The pointers are sharp
And made
of steel
It’s eleven, fifty seven
Like two eager swords
Eager for slaughter and thirsty for blood
It’s eleven, fifty eight
Like two trap
doors
Closing on in, crushing all late in time
It’s
eleven, fifty nine
Like two scissors blades
Cutting
off all that took till the last minute
Tis time, yes
it is time!
Time is nigh, time is now!
Midnight alignment!
Midnight alignment!
Every
bell in a solemn tune
Singing in a perfect symphony
Dramatic
ballads in the scheme of night
Unveiling the secrecy of the darkness
In a melancholic ceremony
To start a new circle of life

Reminiscent of the Bhuddist wheel of life I think it is? Not sure if anything new is learned with the new beginning. Really enjoyed the flavor of this piece approaching the final midnight hour, thanks.

Well this can be your interpretation, that is what you saw in it which is always valid. I guess it has something to do with the industrial world and the decadence it brings, ending with an Armaggedon of tecnology. Thanks for the compliment.

THanks Mel and indeed that was the overlaid idea, much enjoyed.

The idea of a mechanism with many cogwheels can also resemble the inevitability of certain events, the solid matter of metals gives them a ruthless temper and resembles the human lack of power to change the tragic things in life, to stop time and death, we get crushed trying to prevent something that we are powerless and are punished to try it. Feels like the ruthless power of fate, or trying to change something that is of God's will.
