Fait Accompli

You can’t stop the marching hordes They’ve got you on the run You think you can stop the clock But your time’s already done History proclaims itself Is what the poets say You’re going to cause a lot of pain Until you see that way You’re already looking at me From your prison cell Even now you’re wondering Just how the hell you fell How could it have happened When God was on your side All your friends were asking On the day you died Ain’t it funny just how fast Someone can be forgot They all denied they knew you Before your corpse began to rot Because time is a chamber With many an open door One need only be patient We’ve seen your end before August 8, 2020
